Stefan R. Landsberger (1955-2024) was trained as a sinologist at Leiden University, The Netherlands. Fascinated by totalitarian propaganda, he started to collect Chinese propaganda posters in the 1970s. His collection grew into one of the largest private collections in the world. Having had access to these posters for such a long time, he came to consider them as rich primary sources for research on contemporary Chinese developments. For that reason, Landsberger used them as the basis for his Ph.D. research, which focussed on materials published in the 1980s.

Wang Wenfang (1938-2020) was born in Zhaoyuan, Shandong Province. In 1957, he joined the Chinese Painting Department of the Central Academy of Fine Arts under the tutelage of Li Keran, Ye Qianyu, Jiang Zhaohe, Li Kuchan, and Zong Qixiang. After graduating in 1962, he was assigned to the Beijing Academy of Painting (北京画院) to become a professional painter. Five of his works were collected by the National Art Museum of China.
