A very merry Christmas to you and yours!
Uncouth Triumvirate
Boots & Bonnets
I love this old screen printed design. Guessing it’s from somewhere in Eastern Europe. Anybody know for sure? Czech maybe? According to the very savvy @masterts, this piece is from Poland. Thanks Tom!
How Now Red Mao?
For all the bad it did the Chinese people, the Cultural Revolution produced some amazing art and graphic design. If you need proof, just consider this striking two-color print of an oddly European-looking fellow trying to decide between his pick axe and his rifle. Did he go with the Mandarin salad or the Peking duck? Hard to say, but this photoset of clip art from the Cultural Revolution is well worth a look.
Russian Orchestra
I love this set of labels depicting members of the Russian orchestra. I find both the use color and the way each character’s form fits the sound of his instrument to be really interesting. Beautiful design at a small scale.
