Chinese Cultural Revolution Poster

A forest of fists beneath a yellow sun.

Printed in China in the 20th century on paper, this Cultural Revolution poster shows a smiling portrait in a cap at the top, set against radiating yellow rays. Below, a red flag and a dense crowd of figures with raised fists fill the width. Posters of this kind were commonly used to mark congresses and campaigns. A line of red characters runs across the foot, untranslated here. The paper is lightly creased.

About 29 by 21 inches. Full of upward energy. Hang it where the room needs lifting.
