{"product_id":"chinese-communist-party-propaganda-posters","title":"Chinese Communist Party","description":"\u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cem\u003e(Translation of main slogan: “Grasp Revolution, Promote Production, Promote Work, Promote War Readiness.”)\u003c\/em\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis 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 \u003cstrong\u003e毛泽东选集\u003c\/strong\u003e \u003cem\u003e(“Selected Works of Mao Zedong”)\u003c\/em\u003e and the smaller, pocket-sized edition in the worker’s hand reads \u003cstrong\u003e毛主席语录\u003c\/strong\u003e \u003cem\u003e(“Quotations of Chairman Mao”).\u003c\/em\u003e Together, they symbolize absolute ideological unity and loyalty.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe 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.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThese 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.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-label=\"Size\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eSize:\u003c\/strong\u003e 30.25\" x 20.0\"\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-label=\"Condition\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eCondition:\u003c\/strong\u003e Very Good, Age-appropriate wear, fading and toning.
