Chinese Cultural Revolution Poster

Black ink, red crowd, and a man with a pistol in his hand.

Chinese printers of the Cultural Revolution made this poster in ink on paper in China in the 20th century. The bold two-color look of woodcuts was widely borrowed for big-character and protest imagery. A tall figure in a long dark coat dominates the left, one hand holding a small pistol at his side. A surge of figures in red rushes in at the lower right. Red characters stack in the upper right corner.

About 28 by 36 inches. Not a poster for a nursery.
