Chinese Cultural Revolution Poster

Two figures stand among wrecked aircraft, and a banner hangs above them.

Chinese printers of the Cultural Revolution produced this poster in ink on paper in China in the 20th century. Anti-imperialist subjects, often showing downed aircraft, were typical in these prints. A soldier with a helmet and a man in a white shirt stand side by side, the soldier gripping a rifle, atop jagged fragments of white metal. A red banner at the top carries two lines of gold characters.

About 30 by 21 inches. A strong, pointed composition.
