Tableaux chinois

The Chinese Communist Party published these images in "La Chine”, a magazine distributed in various languages around the world. Ruff's work links the original analogue offset printing grid with the digital pixel structure. In doing so, the artist transports the 20th century propaganda images into the visual language of the 21st century. Signed on title page. Fine. **OVERSIZED & OVERWEIGHT item - extra shipping costs may be apply**.
