This is an archival note card from the cultural revolution series, no. 5, titled "the red book & the neck". It is archival paper. Graphic art of the Cultural Revolution generally followed an officially approved style, with heroic figures, strong diagonals and a limited range of bright colors that read clearly at a distance. Narrow card in red and black ink with a cream border. The figure wears a work shirt and cap and sits on broken bricks, one arm raised, and a red flag-like panel hangs behind. Bold characters run across the bottom. It is 7 inches long and 5 high.

Standing on rubble, in perfect poster posture.
