Welcome to Visitors of Stefan Landsberger's Chinese Propaganda Poster Pages

We have started 'closing' Stefan Landsberger's Chinese Propaganda Poster Pages, and redirecting visitors to chineseposters.net. Individual pages on www.iisg.nl/landsberger are redirected to their equivalent on chineseposters.net. All texts and images from the Landsberger Pages have been transferred to this domain, many more have been added only here. Layout and navigation are different, of course, but we hope you will all find your way here as well.

About chineseposters.net

Chineseposters.net is dedicated to the Chinese propaganda poster as it has been produced from 1925 till the present day. These posters literally cry out to be seen. We present them in a gallery of highlights, in web exhibitions ("To Read Too Many Books is Harmful"), and in themes. The site provides related images as well as additional information in artists' biographies, a bibliography and a selection of rare texts on Chinese art, propaganda and posters.

This website is an initiative of Stefan R. Landsberger (Leiden University, University of Amsterdam) and the International Institute of Social History, Amsterdam.
