Abstract

As a special kind of art in the history of Chinese art, propaganda posters have been the most important form of art in the 1950s to the late 1970s, and have been developed in an unprecedented way. As with other forms of painting, the image of peasants and the expression of peasant life have been important themes in the propaganda of new China. Founding of the people's republic of China in 1949, in order to reflect the fresh China's value, it also demands and represent the national ideals in the new era. As the result, the peasants' images in propaganda posters show a totally unprecedented new model, which abandon the old shape system and show a new way of peasants' life as well. The performances have three main aspects, which are the romantic imagination of harvest, the presentation of modernity and the expression of group happiness.
