Who Is My Companion?
Book Description
An unusually explicit Red China poster, advertising adult products (birth control?), and dates to after 1969. Produced by The People’s Fine Art House, approximate size 20 ½ x 29 ¾ in. The print is after a painting by an unknown artist. An unusual image, especially when such material appeared under the hardline Maoist aesthetic in the Cultural Revolution, although sexual life in a family setting was not apparently proscribed. In rough translation the headline apparently reads “Who is my companion ?“ which might suggest a warning against taking unknown sexual companions. The design, with the naked female, red clothing, embroidered ball, and water, apparently represents love, and sexual passion.We are selling this poster as a decorative item as it is difficult to translate the text, date, and context of the work with certainty.
