Chinese Cultural Revolution Print

Cap, collar and a slight smirk, then two stout lines of slogan below.

This Cultural Revolution print of Chairman Mao is by Chairman Mao, from China, and dates to the 20th century. It is ink on paper. The Cultural Revolution was a political movement in China, generally dated from 1966 to 1976, during which posters and prints were produced in very large numbers. Red panel set on a cream page. A man in a soft cap and buttoned collar looks out with a small smile, while chunky white characters occupy two lines at the bottom, closing with a mark. It is 5.1 inches wide and 7.4 high.

Compact poster that makes its point without a single curve to spare.
