Jottings from the Granite Studio

Professor Stefan Landsberger, the man behind the brilliant and invaluable Chinese Propaganda Posters Pages, is involved in another excellent online project, this time in collaboration with the International Institute of Social History based in Amsterdam. The site, Chinese Posters, features 167 works from both Stefan’s private collection and that of the Institute. The posters will also be on display, if anyone happens to be in the Netherlands this summer, at the Kunstahl in the Museum Park, Rotterdam, through September.

I had the great pleasure to meet Stefan this last month when he made an impromptu trip to Beijing. He’s a delightful conversationalist and an amazing source of information on the art of Chinese propaganda. Be sure to check out his latest project.
