Chinese Propaganda Posters

A selection of colorful propaganda artworks and cultural artifacts from Max Gottschalk's extensive collection of Chinese propaganda posters. These posters were produced between the birth of the People's Republic in 1949 and the early 1980s, portraying Chairman Mao Zedong as a stoic superhero in various situations. The posters aimed to depict morally correct behavior and present a vision of a utopian future for Communist China. The collection includes rare propaganda artworks that provide insights into the visual language and messaging used during that period.
