About this piece
One soldier, one red book, and a crowd of faces behind him.
Chinese printers made this poster in ink on paper in China during the Cultural Revolution, in the 20th century. Soldiers pressing a little red book to the chest were a familiar image in the period, commonly used to show devotion and study. The young man wears an olive cap and jacket with red collar tabs, holding the book in one hand. Behind him, a crowd of tiny faces fills a burning orange field.
About 42 by 30 inches. Orange enough to warm a stairwell.
