Comrade Mao Is The Greatest Marxist-Leninist Mao and the Cultural Revolution This is a Mao poster after an oil painting by an unknown artist. 21 x 30 in. Shanghai People's Fine Art House issued "Comrade Mao Tse-tung is the present greatest Marxist-Leninist", the titled based on Lin Biao's keynote political report of CPC 9th National Congress in April 1969 Additionally, after 1964, when the Chinese and Soviet Communist parties broke relations, the poster also represents China as the center of anti-imperialism and anti-revisionism, instead USSR. The Cultural Revolution which took place between circa1966 and 1976 was a social/ political movement. Mao Tse Tung, then Chairman of the ruling Communist Party started this movement to reinforce strict communist dogma. Capitalism and traditional Chinese culture were to be obliterated. Big-character posters were used to denounce people as opponents of the Revolution. Red Guards (pupils and students who swear loyalty to Mao and his Little Red Book) destroy anything that is branded 'old' and eliminate people considered 'rightists'. The posters also were part of the campaign to respond to particular issues as they arose locally or nationally. The Cultural Revolution plunges China into turmoil and internal strife; the country is in chaos, but the posters only show enthusiasm. Approx. 20x30 inches, vintage poster post 1979, in good collectible shape.
