The propaganda poster “Promoting Victory, Enthusiastically Advancing Forward” was created by artist Phạm Lung in 1973 and published in an edition of 30,000 copies by the Propaganda Poster Workshop of the Central Fine Arts Company the same year. The poster was intended to encourage the people to actively build upon the victories achieved through the Paris Peace Accords and to carry out the mission of “toppling the puppet regime” in order to reunify the country.
The artwork depicts a man holding a pair of binoculars in one hand while raising the other high in determination. Beside him stands a woman holding a rifle in one hand and raising the other in solidarity. Together, they embody determination and revolutionary enthusiasm, marching forward with the shared goal of overthrowing the puppet government and achieving national reunification.
