Archival Note Card | Cultural Revolution | #2

Massive red arm slams a small red book down on a few scattering figures.

This archival note card from the cultural revolution series, no. 2, titled "the flying fist". It is archival paper. Propaganda posters and prints from China's Cultural Revolution, generally dated from 1966 to 1976, used bold flat color and slogans to carry political messages. Wide card on a cream ground. A muscular red figure thrusts across the frame, one fist up, the other pressing the book. Tiny figures and papers fly at the lower left, and thick black characters run across the bottom. It is 7 inches long and 5 high.

The arm takes up most of the room, politely.
