The life and work of an essential photographer whose feminism and pictorialist images distanced her from the mainstream In the first book devoted to Anne Brigman (1869-1950), Kathleen Pyne traces the groundbreaking photographer's life from Hawai'i to the Sierra and elsewhere in California, revealing how her photographs emerged from her experience of local place and cultural politics. Brigman's work caught the eye of the well-known photographer Alfred Stieglitz, who welcomed her as one of the original members of his Photo-Secession group. He promoted her work as exemplary of his modernism and praised her Sierra landscapes with female nudes-work that at the time separated Brigman from the spiritualized upper-class femininity of other women photographers. Stieglitz later drew on Brigman's images of the expressive female body in shaping the public persona of Georgia O'Keeffe into his ideal woman artist. This nuanced account reasserts Brigman's place among photography's most important early advocates and provides new insight into the gender and racialist dynamics of the early twentieth-century art world, especially on the West Coast of the United States.

Best known in the States for his work on the Warren icon, Vampirella, Sanjulian has been rightly called 'an artist's artist' for his brilliant sense of composition and use of colour - it's the kind of thing civilians just enjoy, while fellow illustrators make furious mental notes for future reference. Now, for the first time, we get to see the planning, the research, and the magic that goes into Sanjulian's flawless creations. It also features a full colour gallery of Sanjulian's favourite paintings, as well as an introduction by the equally legendary Jim Warren.

Celebrated photographer Robert Mapplethorpe challenged the limits of censorship and conformity, com- bining technical and formal mastery with unexpected, often provocative content that secured his place in history. Mapplethorpe's artistic vision helped shape the social and cultural fabric of the 1970s and 80s and, following his death in 1989 from AIDS, informed the political landscape of the 1990s. His photographic works continue to resonate with audiences all over the world. Throughout his career, Mapplethorpe preserved studio files and art from every period and vein of his production, including student work, jewelry, sculptures, and commercial assignments. The resulting archive is fascinating and astonishing. With over four hundred illustrations, this volume surveys a virtually unknown resource that sheds new light on the artist's motivations, connections, business acumen, and tal- ent as a curator and collector.

While candy-colored pinup may be popular with some, this is a collection of dark, sexy images that truly reflect the sophisticated side of the pinup genre. Seemingly ripped from the men's magazines of yesteryear, these photos are so authentic looking down to the smallest detail as if they were actually taken decades ago. Bullet bras, seamed stockings, high heels, and girdles bursting at the seams! Internationally published photographer Mark Anthony Lacy specializes in bringing out the allure and sensuality of his female subjects. He combines his backgrounds in art, architecture, film, and photography to create incredibly authentic vintage tableaus in his New York studio.

Vincent Stephens in a man well-known for his ability to showcase young ladies in knots and straps, but he also has a penchant for cheeky goodness as well! Chunk in the trunk as never looked better, as Stephens sets his trained eye (and active imagination) on the back end of the female mystique! Bootylicious? Most definitely!

The subjects of her recent art are a logical continuation of the larger narrative of Benjamin's body of work: She works to excavate the female human experience as she knows it. Benjamin muses on intimacy, sexuality, self-perception, body dysmorphia, and trauma through her avatars. Her work is diaristic, approaching her subjects through the lens of her own personal experience; each piece can easily feel like a self-portrait. Her women are simultaneously self-assured and crumbled, standing defiantly on their own two hairy legs, yet seeking the shoulder of an empathetic viewer to cry on. Benjamin uses her art to sort through her own trauma and self-analysis, and seeks to give faces, bodies, and narratives to the different facets of her own womanhood.

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.

Text in English & German. Sean McCall lives and works in Los Angeles. A professional fashion and advertising photographer looks back at a career spanning three decades in the industry. His work has appeared in numerous magazines, including Allure, Bazaar, Glamour, GQ, Mademoiselle, Sunset, Vogue and several books. He has worked together with fashion designers Gaultier, Dior, Tommy Hilfiger and Hudson.

Like many photographers, McCall has an impressive back catalogue; there are enough erotic photos of Dita Von Teese, among others, to fill an entire library. Together with the artist, we perused the archive and made a selection we have called "LA Nudes Confidential". It gives insight into some "hot" photo sessions.

Text in English, French & German. The complete epilated body is quite big in fashion today. Right after their intimate shaving these models of Alex Truew show up nude with orgasmic brazenness before his camera: bulged pubic hill, glossy rift, breezy pussy. So they pose insolently, and with infectious gaiety open-air or lolled at a luxury couch, exposing their clean cunt cheerfully smiling. It is obvious that they love their sex. They love it and they caress it devotedly. In these pictures you can see the wind of freedom blowing: youthfully, gaily, and provoking. Their skin becomes so hypersensitive when their sex is completely shaved that a simple puff of fresh air suffices to excite them. A breeze on the clit blossom, or a small targeted blow of the tongue suffices to ignite arousal -- yes, of course! The female sex is so sensitive!

Hollywood honeys and classic movie monsters. Sci-Fi femmes and Hammer horror queens. Lady vampires and creatures that go "rub" in the night It's all part of the imagination and twisted joy Carlos Valenzuela brings to every one of his paintings. Bring your own popcorn

Sensual and softly surreal, the nude photography of Ralph Gibson frames the female form both organically and graphically, referencing art history while also innovating in the arena of erotic imagery, at once summoning visceral sensation and calling out for tactile attention. Thumb through this exquisite tribute to the contours and curves of womanhood and experience the intimacy of the photographic lens. Reviving TASCHEN's sold-out Collector's Edition, this tribute gathers the best of Gibson's exquisite nudes alongside some of his most recent works in an accessible, revised format, complete with a fresh in-depth interview by Eric Fischl. Strikingly graphic, meticulously composed, and loaded with subtle provocations, the master photographer's mysterious, dreamlike images pay homage to greats such as Man Ray and Edward Weston, while continually pursuing new frontiers. "A photographer once said that beauty in women is endless. Perhaps it was I who said it. [...] I love photographing women and could say that the form of the female body is absolute and perfect." -Ralph Gibson
