Art Illustration always depict happy faces and heroic deeds that emerged from the stories of countless victories over struggles and hardships. Each poster illustration is both a work of art and an account into the events of those times. The poster collection covered some the era listed below.

Era of the The Great Leap Forward, 1958

Mao initiated what was known as “grassroots socialism” with an objective to accelerate China into a modern industrialized state. Communities within China were assigned production of a single commodity, steel. It was an economic failure, formerly uneducated farmers were delegated to produce steel, which was of course low in quality and useless for industrial applications. The Great Leap Forward initiative resulted a great decline in harvest sizes of the farmers, which led to the Great Chinese Famine. The famine caused the deaths of millions, particularly in poorer inland regions.

Era of The Cultural Revolution, from 1966 to 1976

Implemented by Chairman of the Communist Party of China Mao Zedong, its stated goal was to enforce communism in the country by purging capitalist, traditional and cultural elements from Chinese society and must be removed through violent class struggle. China’s youth responded to the call by forming Red Guard groups around the country by epic proportions. The cultural revolution resulted in widespread factional struggles across all walks of life. Historical relics and artifacts were destroyed, and cultural and religious sites were ransacked.
