Francois Berthoud is known for his painstakingly produced and
meticulously arranged linocuts and his expressive drip paintings
and elegant computer graphics have graced the face of countless
magazines and advertising campaigns for the world s most discerning
and sought-after fashion brands including Yves-St-Laurent, Bulgari,
Chanel, Givenchy, Sonia Rykiel, and Prada. His work presents the
conceptual aspect of fashion, maintaining a strict line between the
edge of eroticism which he claims to be all important. Emerging as
a leading fashion illustrator and art director in the 80s, Berthoud
s distinct style was championed by the legendary Anna Piaggi early
on in her avant-garde publication Vanity that was published by
Conde Nast. She hailed him by saying that while Francois
illustrates fashion in an apparently formal and decorative way, in
reality he analyses his subject in depth and with an elegant sense
of detachment before recreating it in his atelier-laboratory . He
experiences fashion with a sharp sense of irony and a visual
culture rooted in conceptual art. But his style is totally now!
Berthoud has a reputation for romantic fashion illustration and for
erotica (he was the illustrator for Betony Vernon s The Boudoir
Bible) and where the two often overlap. Featuring essays by Chris
Dercon and Daniele Barbieri, the book concludes with a conversation
with Franc?ois Berthoud transcribed by Christian Ka?mmerling.
A comprehensive and instructional guide to the new sexual
landscape, covering "new territories" such as bondage, role
playing, and sex toys that would make your parents blush. Since the
publication of The Joy of Sex in 1972, the sexual landscape's
boundaries have been expanded to include a host of practices that
are unthinkable in that classic tome. Although it also covers the
basics, The Boudoir Bible fills those niches missing from other sex
guides nicely, with full, elaborated chapters on rope bondage,
restraints of sound and sight, erotic flagellation, and the
stimulation of new erogenous zones, among innumerable other
offerings. Well-researched, The Boudoir Bible is written from a
joyful, sex-positive point of view. Going beyond the "lovemaking"
of older guides, this witty and uninhibited tome expands the sexual
act to encompass "verboten" topics, with chapters entitled "The
Genital Gym," "Nipple Tease," "Male Ejaculation Control," and "The
Anthems of Anal Sex." Illustrated by the renowned artist Francois
Berthoud, whose provocative creations have graced both Prada
campaigns and museum exhibitions, The Boudoir Bible provides a
fresh view of sexuality in the twenty-first century.
