Intervening years (1960-1965)

Intervening years (1960-1965)
previous section | next section

Despite the failure of the Great Leap Forward, posters continue to visualize the successes of socialism. The aggressive scenes of the previous years are replaced with more romantic images of the good life. Very often, beautiful women are shown, with little or no specific political message. In these years of relative relaxation, more and more posters with Chairman Mao are published.
