DESIGNER UNKNOWN [CHINESE PROPAGANDA.] Two velvet posters. Circa 1970s. Sizes vary, each approximately 21x15 inches, 53x38 cm. Conditions vary, generally B+: tears and creases at edges; foxing in images. Silk-screen and velvet. Paper. In an unexpected example of one Cultural Revolution borrowing visual cues from another, the Chinese co-opted some of the best, and some of the worst, American poster design concepts. A cross between a Velvet Elvis, a black light poster and Red Army propaganda, the result is as kitschy as its Western counterpart; a Velvet Mao!
