Chinese Cultural Revolution Poster

A red flag at dusk, and the column that follows it.

Printed in ink on paper in China in the 20th century, this poster belongs to the Cultural Revolution. Marching columns beneath a flag were an enduring motif. A leading figure in gray carries a large red flag over his shoulder, a dancer in green behind, and many figures in uniform stretch back along a wide road under a golden sky. The sheet has a white border, with a red title and small printed text beneath the image.

About 21 by 30 inches. Marching, in the best light of the day.
