A revolution is not a dinner party, or writing an
essay, or painting a picture, or doing embroidery.

~ Mao Tse-Tung

Beijing, China
Chinese Propaganda Poster
-Take the Space Shuttle to Travel in the Universe-
This was produced in 1979, at the end of the
Cultural Revolution and towards the beginning of
modernisation for China. According to Chinese
folklore, there is a lady living on the moon with
her pet rabbit; these kids are heading off to meet
her.

-Foolish Men Move the Mountain to Reform China;
1971-
Very unique early cartoon poster telling the story
of the Cultural Revolution. Its name comes from a
famous Chinese fable about the indomitable will of
the Chinese and how generations of Chinese
people will pull together and rule the world.
-Bombing the Capitalist Headquarters; 1976-
Stefanos Blueberries Mao's Propaganda 212/388
A typical Dazibao (or big-character poster) from
the Cultural Revolution period; these wall-
mounted posters, painted by hand with large
Chinese lettering, were common tools of protest.
-Warmly Hail the Successful Opening of the 4th
People's Congress-
This poster is from 1971, just before Lin Biao died.
He promoted Mao Zedong's Little Red Book from
the very beginning of the Cultural Revolution.
Scenes with people holding Mao's Little Red Book
can only be seen in posters before 1971 when Lin
Biao died, so this is probably one of the last
posters of people holding it.

-March Forward Holding High Great Revolutionary
Criticising Flag; 1968-
Typical woodcut-style Cultural Revolution movie
poster.
-Long Live Unity of World People; 1973-
The title of this work comes from a lengthy Mao
quotation about defying difficulties and advancing
across the world to destroy monsters of all kinds.
