About this piece
A toast, a bottle, and a very bloody knife.
China produced this Cultural Revolution poster in the 20th century in ink on paper. Satirical cartoons were commonly part of the era’s political posters. Two caricatured men clink glasses, one with a skull-like face and a uniform with a dripping knife at his belt, the other holding a large bottle. A speech bubble with characters floats above them, not translated here. The black ink is drawn loosely on a pale, slightly creased sheet.
About 16 by 21 inches. Dark humour, plainly stated.
