About this piece

He sits in sunflowers, and the sunflowers lean his way.

Chinese artists and printers of the Cultural Revolution era produced this poster in ink on paper in China in the 20th century. Sunflowers turning toward the light were a familiar image in the period’s propaganda, commonly used to suggest loyalty and devotion. A smiling figure in an olive cap and jacket fills the foreground against pale gold blooms with dark centers. A line of bold red characters runs along the foot.

About 31 by 41 inches. Cheerful, huge and impossible to miss.
