Chinese Cultural Revolution Poster

One raised hand, one red slogan, and a very large coat.

This Cultural Revolution poster was printed in China in the 20th century in ink on paper. Large portrait posters like this were commonly displayed in public spaces. A smiling figure in a cap with red collar tabs raises one hand in greeting, drawn in bold black ink on a creamy sheet, with a line of red characters across the bottom. The paper has a slightly uneven, aged tone and soft folds. The caption is left untranslated.

About 41 by 30 inches. Friendly in scale, firm in tone.
