Hey everybody,
I have a few pieces of propaganda art from communist China during its hayday (pun intended). I have three prints that I got from the family member of a Chinese government official who defected to the states. They are prints from the Cultural Revolution circa 1973/74. The person I bought them from didn't have the complete collection (I doubt they would have been selling them individually if they did), but they had an entire ledger full. I found out they were issued to higher-ranking members of the Propaganda Department. The ledger contained a print of all the artwork painted and commissioned to be hung throughout the country during those years. They are 100% authentic and I will lend my full name and expertise to that. I had pictures of the ledger but lost the phone the pictures were on. I want to find someone to take them to to be *officially* (my mentoring professor corroborates it and even bought a couple of prints herself) authenticated. Anyways, these are the three prints I have. Let me know if you are possibly be interested in any of them.
(they are just smaller than 8.5'' x 11''. I can't find a ruler around but I'd say they're about 7'' x 11'', although they're in centimeters)










P.S. If you can understand Chinese it would be awesome if you could tell me what these say. I have some idea but would like a better one. I know the characters in red are the "motto" of that picture. I believe the smaller characters in blue are the name of the artist.
