Chinese Cultural Revolution Poster

A raised hand, an armband and a village green.

This poster was printed in ink on paper in China in the 20th century, from the Cultural Revolution era. Stage-inspired scenes of young soldiers and villagers were widely issued. A man in a gray uniform with a red armband raises a hand at the center, while a woman in a red jacket and long skirt stands beside him, and another soldier crouches at the left. Trees and hills fill the background in soft blue-green.

About 30 by 21 inches. Soft color, with a stage-set mood.
