From ancient times, man has sought to illustrate the mysteries and glories of sex. Today, some of the finest artists specialise in this subject, and their work is gathered together here to provide a gallery for their talent. In addition, there are examples of erotic work by well-known mainstream artists.
Michelle Olley guides you through a selection of the work of the best contemporary erotic artists, whose styles range from simple line drawings to airbrushing and Picasso-esque oils, while their subject matter reflects the enduring human interest in matters sexual.
These painters, illustrators and sculptors are the best in their field at bringing the human sexual instinct to the page. A brief biography of each artist gives an insight into their work and a history of their career to date. An introduction to the history of erotic art provides the background against which their works can be set and appreciated best.
