Chinese Cultural Revolution Poster, on Linen Mount

Black ink, white space, one giant swinging at a crowd.

Chinese printers made this Cultural Revolution poster in ink on paper in China in the 20th century and it comes on a linen mount. Such posters, commonly associated with 1966 to 1976, often used bold woodcut-style imagery. A muscular figure with a raised fist holds a tiny struggling person aloft. A crowd of cartoonish figures scatters behind. A black band across the bottom carries large white characters, and small script sits to the right.

About 24 by 33 inches, wider than it is tall. Stark graphic punch, framed in linen.
