Chinese Cultural Revolution Poster

A raised hand, a field of flags, and rays fanning from behind the head.

Printers in China made this Cultural Revolution poster in ink on paper in the 20th century. The record places it in the period commonly dated 1966 to 1976. This landscape-format print shows a uniformed figure in a peaked cap with an armband, one arm lifted, while red and black rays radiate behind him. At the left, a surging crowd carries banners under stylized clouds. A single line of red characters runs along the bottom edge.

About 21 by 31 inches. A wide image with serious reach.
