Chinese Cultural Revolution Lithograph

A little group of uniformed figures stands on a cliff edge under a brooding green sky.

This cultural revolution lithograph is from China, and dates to the 20th century. It is ink on paper. Lithography prints an image from a flat stone or plate that has been treated so ink sticks only to the drawn areas. Wide landscape with dark pines on the left and a heavy, clouded sky shading to cream near the horizon. A few small caps and uniforms are silhouetted on a rocky ledge, with printed caption underneath. It is 10.25 inches wide and 7.5 high.

Plenty of sky, a handful of people, and no wasted ink.
