Chinese Cultural Revolution Poster, on Linen Mount

A statue on a pedestal, caught in a flare of red.

This Cultural Revolution poster was printed in ink on paper in China in the 20th century and is mounted on linen. Posters of the period, commonly dated 1966 to 1976, were often produced for public display. A tall standing statue in a long coat rises from a stepped pedestal with a plaque, set against a cream ground. Red flame-like shapes lick the base. Two lines of red characters appear below, with a small line of text at the bottom.

About 33 by 23 inches. Monument in print, framed in linen.
