About this piece
A sunburst halo, a distant skyline and a young man’s profile.
Printed in ink on paper in China in the 20th century, this poster is from the Cultural Revolution. Radiating light was a common device in the period’s portraits. A younger-looking portrait of the leader, in a cap with a red star, floats in the center of a golden burst of rays. Small scenes of factories, chimneys and city buildings fade into the orange glow at left and right. A line of red characters runs along the lower edge.
About 30 by 42 inches. Glows like the sun through a window.
