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.
