1000 Erotic Works of Genius: Erotic art through the ages: themes, styles, and masterpieces

By Victoria Charles and Joe A. Thomas

History has shown that erotic images, whether accepted or rejected, have always put forth new ideas of eroticism, as evidenced in the works reproduced throughout this book. From ancient fertility statues to Renaissance engravings designed to encourage procreation within marriage, erotic art has always held an important place in society.

Here, for the first time, 1,000 authentic images of erotic art have been brought together, spanning centuries and civilisations to demonstrate the evolution of the genre. In an era such as ours when eroticism is abundant in advertising and the media, this book gives a refreshing insight into the background of erotic imagery, highlighting the artistic value of beautiful works of eroticism executed with skill.
