Chinese Cultural Revolution Poster

A red star on a cap, and a stern look under it.

Chinese printers made this Cultural Revolution poster in ink on paper in China in the 20th century. Posters of the period, commonly associated with 1966 to 1976, often paired a strong portrait with a short slogan. A figure in a peaked cap with a red star and red collar tabs looks off to the side, shaded in fine black lines. Bold red characters sit below on a red band, with a smaller line of text beneath. The margins are white.

About 31 by 21 inches. Strong face, strong type, very little clutter.
