Chinese Cultural Revolution Poster

A long coat, a long stride, and nothing else on the page.

This Cultural Revolution poster was printed in China in the 20th century in ink on paper. Large single-figure prints like this were commonly displayed on walls during the period. A full-length standing figure in a long gown holds a rolled paper at his side, drawn in bold black ink against a plain cream ground, with a few leaves at the base. The sheet is soft and slightly uneven, with a hand-pressed quality.

About 43 by 29 inches. Tall, graphic, and good in a stairwell.
