With his colourful, warm and gentle face, radiating light, Chairman Mao Tse-tung's Mao Tse-tung was an omnipresent figure in Chinese propaganda posters chinese propaganda posters printed between the birth of the People's Republic in 1949 and the early 1980s.
Chairman Mao, nicknamed "the Great Teacher", "the Great Leader", "the Great Helmsman" or "the Supreme Commander", was portrayed as a historical hero in all sorts of situations (visiting factories, smoking a cigarette with peasants, by the Yangtze River in his bathrobe, at the bow of a ship or floating in a sea of red flags), flanked by strong and healthy men of indeterminate age, and by masculinised women and children masculinised dressed in baggy, grey, asexual clothes. The purpose of such imagery was to show the Chinese people what was considered morally correct behaviour and how bright the future of China would be how bright the future of communist China would be if they all followed the same path towards utopia together.
This book brings together a selection of full-colour Chinese propaganda artworks and cultural of full-colour Chinese propaganda from Max Gottschalk's vast collection of posters, many of them extremely rare.
