Politics and ethics aside, I keep being drawn to the pure graphic language of Propaganda art from around the world. It's use of beauty, emotion, symbolism, bold graphic imagery, regional tradition, messaging and typography combine to make persuasive communications. There's a mix of overall styles in this Chinese Propaganda Poster collection, but for me to make sense of them I've grouped them loosely into Joyous, Children, Oddly Modern and Militant.
