BOYS AND GIRLS

A wonderful piece of history, clearly showing that the interests/drives that boys and girls have for one another have not changed thru the centuries. For recording the interaction, we've gone from cave drawings to renowned artists to the age of the digital camera and fast reproductions of love and sexual displays, and nothing much has changed. This little treasure should have been sold by the pound - excellent graphics and quality paper. I recommend it to anyone that studies love, romance, erotica, or just enjoys being with the opposite sex. Buy this one, for the coffee table and the bedroom!

Erotica Universalis

One one Taschen's 25th Anniversary Special Editions, this volume contains over 500 depictions on erotica throughout history. From antiquity to the modern era, starting with cave paintings and art from ancient Greece, up to erotica in comic stips and underground comics, all artistic periods are represented.

Erotica Unversalis (Taschen 25)

This book has fantastic erotic sketches and paintings. The history of the artwork is interesting if brief. Highly recommend.

hot stuff

I found this book at Barnes and Noble a few years back. I was amazed at how far back much of the artwork was dated. Many of the great masters of the arts have produced works that only so few in the world have seen. It's a shame that people censor stuff like this. If you find a copy somewhere anywhere buy it!!! You can learn much about mans sexuality by looking at the art found in this book.

Great History Lessons and Look at the Erotic Masters

What is so great about this book is that it shows that many artists of the past were pushing the limits of the publishing world and moving over the erotic edge. The art presented by Neret was not only radical for its time, it will probably be timeless.All artist and all erotic collectors need to dig into Erotica Universalis.
