Artist, writer, musician, film-maker, "Star Wars" mega-fan - Matt Busch goes by many titles. "The Detroit Real Press" called him, 'The Rock Star of Illustration', and given his legion of genuine rockers who dig his work, that's a pretty good description of this multi-talented artist. Much beloved for his "Star Wars" paintings and comic work, this particular collection of full colour illustrations focus on another great love of Matt's life - portraits of pretty girls in various states of undress! Get to see the hotter side of Busch's amazing work, including the artist's personal favourites (paintings and the models who pose for him!). Also a nice little step-by-step feature shows Matt's process for all you would-be artists-in-training!

Newly revised and expanded, this second edition of Timon Screech's definitive "Sex and the Floating World" offers a real assessment of the genre of Japanese paintings and prints today known as shunga. Changes in Japanese law in the 1990s enabled erotic images to be published without fear of prosecution, and many shunga picture-books have since appeared. There has, however, been very little attempt to situate the imagery within the contexts of sexuality, gender or power. Questions of aesthetics, and of whether shunga deserve a place in the official history of Japanese art, have dominated, and the question of the use of these images has been avoided. Timon Screech seeks to re-establish shunga in a proper historical frame of culture and creativity. Shunga prints are not like any other form of picture for the simple fact that they are overtly about sex. And once we begin to examine them first and foremost as sexual apparatus, then we must be prepared for some surprises. The author opens up for us the strange world of sexual fantasy in the Edo culture of eighteenth-century Japan, and investigates the tensions in class and gender of those that made and made use of shunga.

Taking as its point of departure the meeting of two artists at a tumultuous moment in the 1980s, "Almodovar's Gaze" explores how the photographic and filmmaking lens can fruitfully overlap. American photographer Robert Mapplethorpe (1946-1989) and Spanish filmmaker Pedro Almodovar (born 1949) first met in Madrid in 1984, when the photographer was there on a visit occasioned by his first exhibition in the city. Mapplethorpe was already an accomplished artist, 38 years old and sure of himself and his sensibility. Pedro Almodovar was a well-known filmmaker in the Spanish underground, and the best-known international representative of the Madrid-based countercultural Movida movement that arose after General Franco's death in 1975. Mapplethorpe and Almodovar had gone out partying in Madrid, which at the time was particularly receptive to young artists closer to the underground than to the establishment. The later impact that Mapplethorpe's retrospective exhibition at the Whitney Museum of American Art had on Almodovar in 1987 was tremendous. This intimate arrangement of Mapplethorpe's seductive and powerful images was carefully selected by Almodovar from over 1,700 of Mapplethorpe's photographs.

In the Paris of the 1950s and early 1960s, a host of French glamour magazines sprang up, featuring voluptuous nude pin-up girls plucked from the streets and thrust in front of hungry cameras in sleazy backstreet studios. Magazines like "Paradise," "Sensation" and "Pink And Black" were at the forefront, featuring scores of these amateur but sexy young women in a multitude of alluring poses and settings. Jean le Baptiste has assembled from his own private collection a stunning array of vintage photographs from these magazines, a collection which at once takes us back to the fashions and styles of more innocent decades, yet delivers a strong erotic thrill at the rediscovery of these wanton Parisian girls in their sexual prime. Paris Pussy contains 100 shamelessly provocative images. This is the first ever US edition of a classic vintage erotic photo collection.
