Yan’an prints were made by artists active in the military base of Yan’an, Shaanxi province, North China, at the end of the Long March (1934–1936) and during the continuing civil war and Japanese invasion in the 1940s. Prints were made to help support the effort to build a modernized state and fight the enemy. They illustrate battle scenes, and the effort to bring education and aid to the rural population. Prints were given to foreigners, such as aid workers, doctors, and soldiers who, it was hoped, would support Chinese social and military efforts.- ? after 1944–?Anton Remenih [1913–2001], acquired in Yan’an, Shaanxi province, China, by descent to his daughter Jo Remenih?–c. 2015Jo Remenih, Iowa, sold to Tom and Patricia Ebreyc. 2015–2025Tom and Patricia Ebrey, Seattle, WA, sold to the Cleveland Museum of Art2025–The Cleveland Museum of Art, Cleveland, OH
