Chinese Cultural Revolution Poster

A gold-edged wave from a green-gray hill.

Chinese presses of the Cultural Revolution printed this poster in ink on paper in China in the 20th century. Slogan-and-portrait layouts like this were a standard poster format. A figure in a gray-green jacket raises one hand above a dark red ridge, against a soft yellow sky. A broad red panel below carries large yellow characters at the left and a flowing signature at the right.

About 21 by 30 inches. A gentle sky above an emphatic panel, and a good reason to leave the rest of the wall bare.
