Archival Note Card | Cultural Revolution | #18
About this piece
Soldier in a fur-flap cap holds a rifle in front of jagged red cliffs.
This is an archival note card from the cultural revolution series, no. 18, titled "lei feng – the revolutionary screw that never rusts". 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. Vertical card with a woodcut-like figure in a padded coat and fur hat, a red star on the cap. Red slabs of rock rise behind him, and a small star with an English caption sits at the lower center. It is 7 inches long and 5 high.
Blocky, bold, and ready for a snowstorm.
