Chinese Cultural Revolution Poster, on Linen Mount

Three faces, three roles, one shared horizon.

This Cultural Revolution poster was made in China in the 20th century in ink on paper, and is mounted on linen. Propaganda posters of this period commonly pictured workers, peasants and soldiers as heroic figures, often with bold slogans. Here three figures stand shoulder to shoulder in brown and cream, the one at right carrying a rifle on his shoulder. The characters above and below are left untranslated. The linen mount frames the print in a soft, textured edge.

About 17 by 23 inches. A sturdy small poster with a calm presence.
