Chinese Cultural Revolution Poster, on Linen Mount

Red banners, black ranks, and a face rising above them like a sun.

This Cultural Revolution poster was printed in ink on paper in China in the 20th century and is mounted on linen. Posters of this era, commonly dated 1966 to 1976, were often printed for public walls. A small portrait sits in a red halo over a row of tall banners. Beneath, a tightly packed black-and-white crowd advances, some with red armbands. Bold red characters carry the title along the bottom, with a smaller line below.

About 32 by 24 inches. Dense, loud, and very easy to read.
