Chinese Cultural Revolution Poster

Three fists up under a sunburst.

Printers in China made this Cultural Revolution poster in ink on paper in the 20th century. The record places it in the period commonly dated 1966 to 1976, when such posters were pasted up for public display. Three men in orange-red tunics raise clenched fists beneath a small framed portrait, with rays bursting from behind them. A distant skyline sits at their feet. Red characters beneath carry the title across two lines. White paper margins surround the print.

About 31 by 21 inches. Warm, loud, and very hard to ignore.
