Chinese Cultural Revolution Poster

Yellow field, red type, and a face that looks straight at you.

This Cultural Revolution poster was made in China in the 20th century in ink on paper. Exhibition and event notices were commonly printed as posters in this period. A portrait in a cap with red collar tabs fills the upper half against a yellow ground, with red brush strokes radiating behind. Below, lines of red characters set out what appears to be listing details, not translated here, above a strip of small buildings. The paper shows soft creases.

About 30 by 21 inches. Reads like a vintage event flyer in full colour.
