South Bank Smooth 270gsm
Limited Edition 1/10
Limited edition silk screen print of actors from a Chinese revolutionary opera. These remarkable performances were not only considered revolutionary but also modern in terms of their thematic depth and innovative musical features when compared with more traditional Chinese operas. Many of these operas were subsequently adapted for film, allowing a wider audience to experience their impact. They told compelling stories that reflected China's struggles during its revolutionary period against foreign and class enemies. These operas glorified the valiant efforts of the People's Liberation Army and celebrated the bravery and resilience of the common people. They prominently showcased Mao and his ideological thought as playing a central and pivotal role in the triumph of communism in China. Although they originally emerged as theatrical performances, the influence of these operas soon expanded into numerous forms, including LPs, comic books, and various types of promotional materials such as posters, postcards, stamps, plates, teapots, wash basins, cigarette packages, vases, and calendars, thus permeating everyday life and culture.
