About chineseposters.net

Chineseposters.net is dedicated to the Chinese propaganda poster as it has been produced from 1937 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 growing 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.
