SEX IN ART: POROGRAPHY AND PLEASURE IN THE HISTORY OF ART
A comprehensive and detailed survey of erotic art from ancient
times to the modern era.
All of the major erotic artists of the Western tradition are
analyzed (Egon Schiele, Hans Bellmer, Thomas Rowlandson, Pablo
Picasso, Titian, Jean Baptiste Dominique Ingres, Felicien Rops,
Leonardo da Vinci, Edgar Degas, and Eric Gill).
Other chapters include erotica in ancient Greece, Rome and
Egypt, Oriental erotic art (Taoist and Tantric art from China,
Japan and India), gender and eroticism in Renaissance art, and the
sensuality of sculpture. Each chapter contains illustrations. A
discussion of the complex relationship between art and pornography
provides the central critical axis for this challenging book. Each
of the major views on erotica and porn are examined, from each
political persuasion and argument. There are also chapters on
censorship, on feminism, and the relation of erotic art to erotic
literature.
There are individual sections on many of the key erotic artists,
such as Michelangelo Buonaroti, Leonardo da Vinci, Eric Gill,
Gustave Moreau, the Surrealists, Jasper Johns, Constantin Brancusi,
Egon Schiele, and Gustav Klimt.
Fully illustrated. This new edition contains many new
illustrations (some of which are rare), an updated and revised
text, a new introduction and bibliography.
