Chinese Pop Propaganda
”From 1950 nd 1980 the Chinese Comunist Party employed China’s best artists and designers from before the founding of the People’s Republic, to produce the propaganda posters. For a long time they were very successful. The posters were cheap and easy to produce and the strong visualization of abstract ideas worked well in a country where many people were illiterate at the time. People were also pleased to have more colour to liven up otherwise drab surroundings and the images spread into homes as well as workplaces, journals and magazines”.
The posters were a strong a form of propaganda; they put the emphasis on the moral virtue of production as a way of contributing to the state, rather something for personal pleasure . They serve the state and the government ideology.
