Erotic encounters have been celebrated by artists from the
beginning of time. This irresistible volume presents 120 of the
most engagingly erotic paintings, sculptures, prints, and drawings
from diverse eras and cultures, coupled with revealing commentaries
about their sexual and aesthetic content. Organised unlike any
other collection of erotic images, The Art of Arousal traces the
course of a sensual relationship. It begins by examining the
elements of eroticism, and then progresses from flirtation and
seduction through kisses and other foreplay before ultimately
arriving at consummation and blissful exhaustion. The irrepressible
Dr. Ruth explores every element of sexuality in these provocative
works of art, including the pleasures of looking, creative
fantasising, and the effects on male and female pleasure of the
various positions depicted. All the works in this book have been
chosen to meet two essential criteria: everyone portrayed must be
having a good time, and each image must satisfy the high aesthetic
standards of Dr. Ruth and an art historian friend, who writes with
witty scholarship about the artistic and biographical aspects of
these remarkable images. Now available in a revised edition that
includes stimulating new works by contemporary creators, The Art of
Arousal is the perfect gift for your lover who loves art.
