Art and politics

Posters from the "cultural revolution" (1966-76) period featured red and bright Chairman Mao Zedong and revolutionary forces - peasants, workers and soldiers. Poster art flooded onto walls and street during the period. Western-style oil painting was discarded and traditional Chinese woodcut became popular. Artists' names were not printed on posters in this period.

Go to the countryside, go to remote areas, go where the motherland needs you most.

Year: 1970
