Perhaps the most infamous poster originated from early
Cultural Revolution, this poster titled Group Ugliness) portrayed in a cartoon
drawing format, depicted one hundred Communist leaders (with names written
next to the person) and “counter-revolutionary” writers post
the fall of previous Chinese chairman Liu Shao Qi. The obvious explanation
was that the author noted the fall of Liu Shao Qi and painted a picture
to depict all the comrades that followed Liu Shao Qi’s capitalist
road, however, the hidden message, which was interrupted by the Chinese
Communist Party was that it named majority of the senior members of Communist
Party and thus it made the CCP looked bad. The author, who was the Chinese
Central Fine Art University student, was criticized for making fun of the
Chinese Communist Party and the Cultural Revolution, was arrested shortly
after and was imprisoned. He subsequently disappeared and was thought to
be executed by the CCP. The poster, viewed as one of the best representations
of the CCP leaders, was done in detail and was done so vividly even without
the names next to their face, one could guess who he was painting about.
A few notable communist leaders were De Xiao Ping, Liu Shao Qi, Peng De
Huai, Lin Feng and Wang Ming. As recently revealed by a Chinese insider
source, the author was the son of a famous Chinese historian Jian Bo Zan.
Created in 1967. This particular poster was printed by the local revolutionary
red guards, copying the original large “Group Ugliness” poster
that was published in the news media. A rare find in the Chinese Great Proletarian
Cultural Revolution artifact. 29” x 20”. |

This poster, which was printed post 1976 and Mao's death
made a detrimental mistake, it had mismatched the headlines with the content
of the poster. It seems that the date and the headline had come from another
poster from 1967. Titled "Celebration of the National Congress and
People's Representative Meeting," and alleged published in 1967 by
Shanghai Fine Art publishing house, this poster as is poses a problem. The
9th Congress meeting was conducted in the 60s, which matches the print date
and the slogan, yet, this poster had the small slogan imprinted on the picture
itself that indicated that Mao had already passed away and that the party
was now led by Hua Guo Feng, Mao's designated successor, which would be
an indication that poster was actually printed in late 1970s, after Mao's
death. One explanation could be that same image was used in the 60s and
then in 70s it was recycled, with the small imprints indicating the passing
of Mao and the successor of Hua following Mao’s directions inside
the image, but somehow the old headline that came with the 1960s poster
got passed along as well unintentionally. Regardless it is curious to us
as to whether it was ever distributed and if so how many were distributed?
Anyone with any common history sense would immediate note the problem therein.
Nonetheless the image of the poster was quite interesting and we are listing
the poster here as an intriguing example of a misprint. 30" x 20". |

This rare Chinese late Cultural Revolution poster shows
the title of "Serve the People wholeheartedly" with a smiling
female villager, an elder woman and a a child holding a Chinese lantern.
During the late Cultural Revolution phase, the government wanted to encourage
people to be selfless, and therefore they had erected Lei Feng as a national
hero, and the motto was to serve the people. This poster was a timely reflection
of the political environment of the period. Lots of traditional motifs were
employed in this poster, which reflects a change in people's desire to return
to traditional values and longing for a stable and peaceful society. During
the Cultural Revolution, production was halted and people were going hungry
in many villages. The strong women and chubby child represent the artist's
wish to depict a healthy and prosperous farming society, which was hard
to find during the Cultural Revolution. Blossoming plum flower, Fish and
lantern represents good luck and happiness, again are motifs that symbolize
a prosperous society that the millions of Chinese farmers were longing for.
