This book showcases a selection of vibrant propaganda artworks and cultural artifacts from the extensive collection of Max Gottschalk. The posters, dating from the establishment of the People's Republic in 1949 through the early 1980s, frequently feature Chairman Mao Zedong. He is depicted in various heroic roles, such as the Great Teacher or Supreme Commander, in diverse settings like inspecting factories or standing by the Yangzi River. These images, often accompanied by idealized representations of citizens, aimed to guide the Chinese populace toward a unified vision of Communist China's future and morally correct behavior.
