Chinese Cultural Revolution Print

A wide grin in thick black ink, cut out in white against a red page.

This Cultural Revolution print of Chairman Mao is by Chairman Mao, from China, and dates to the 20th century. It is ink on paper. The Cultural Revolution was a political movement in China, generally dated from 1966 to 1976, during which posters and prints were produced in very large numbers. A broad, laughing face with a swept-back hair outline sits above a collar with red tabs and a button. White cursive characters run across the foot of the page. It is 5.1 inches wide and 7.2 high.

Even the ink looks like it is in a good mood.
