Advertising Poster Oh Calcutta Paris Nudity Show Erotica
Original vintage advertising poster for a theatrical revue Oh! Calcutta in Elysee-Montmartre Paris. The poster features orange background with black lettering and a sketch of nude couple standing close to each other. Oh Calcutta, controversial for its time, was written by British drama critic Kenneth Tynan (1927-1980), and debuted Off-Broadway 1969. The show sparked considerable controversy at the time due to its extended scenes of total nudity, both male and female. The title is taken from a painting by Clovis Trouille, itself a pun on "O quel cul t'as!?", French for "Oh, what an arse you have!" Good condition, folds, pin holes, creasing, tears, staining. Country of issue: France, designer: Le Colas, size (cm): 60x40, year of printing: 1970
