(Translation of main slogan: “Grasp Revolution, Promote Production, Promote Work, Promote War Readiness.”)
This original early 1970s propaganda poster captures the visual and political force of the Cultural Revolution. The three figures at the center, a peasant, a soldier, and an industrial worker, were the idealized pillars of Maoist society. Each raises a piece of Maoist literature overhead. The large book reads 毛泽东选集 (“Selected Works of Mao Zedong”) and the smaller, pocket-sized edition in the worker’s hand reads 毛主席语录 (“Quotations of Chairman Mao”). Together, they symbolize absolute ideological unity and loyalty.
The artwork uses the bold, woodcut-inspired style typical of Cultural Revolution design. Heavy black lines, heroic poses, and a limited palette of red and black amplify the sense of purpose. Red dominates the background as a visual shorthand for revolution, collectivism, and the authority of Mao’s message. Scenes of cheering masses appear behind the main figures, reinforcing the idea of national consensus.
These posters were distributed across factories, farms, communes, and schools as tools of daily political instruction. Today, they offer a vivid window into how visual design shaped public ideology in 1960s–70s China. This example stands out for its clarity, symbolism, and well-preserved graphic structure, making it a striking piece for collectors of propaganda, political history, and twentieth-century design.
