During the Cultural Revolution they blended the dynamic formalism of the Russian Constructivists with their own uniquely Eastern mythologies and vibrant picture-making styles. And personally I’ve always been fascinated by the happy, chubby babies, the Cult of Mao, the heroic socialist ethos, and of course, the wack English translations. So for the last two holiday seasons, I’ve enjoyed exploiting my own happy, chubby son in making my own interpretations as family Christmas cards. Please to enjoy. http://www.behance.net/Gallery/Having-Fun-with-Chinese-Propaganda-Posters/135402 Reinterpreting Chinese Propaganda Posters as Holiday Cards In terms of poster design the Chinese really got it going on.
