What happened to the insolence of the 18th-century libertines or to the carefree excesses of the Belle Époque and its legalized brothels? They have merely been inhibited and buried by the nowadays political correctness and the aggressive one-eyed morality. This book disregards conventional thinking and presents 800 reproductions that illustrate erotic art from Ancient Greece down to the present era in both Europe and Asia: when reproduction is not seen as an end in itself. With no hesitation nor...

Numerous and diverse points of view come together in this work, demonstrating the multiple aspects that sexuality can present. If nothing is more natural than sexual desire, it is nothing less than the forms by which this desire is expressed and found to satisfy.

Different eras and civilisations have treated erotic images with varying acceptance and different concepts of erotica and these tendencies are reflected within the works themselves. From ancient statues devoted to fertility 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 the centuries and civilisations to...

From the thousand-year-old statues celebrating fertility, to the odalisques of the modern painters, erotic art has always held a prominent place in societies, whatever their morals or cultural references. This work assembles one thousand images of erotic art, from all times and all continents, to illustrate how the representation of these pleasures of the flesh testifies to the evolution of different civilisations and their histories. While eroticism abounds today in advertising and in the...

In the 1920s, Berlin, once perceived as a puritan city, became the capital of lust and the debauchery of morals. It was in this capricious town that an exceptional museum dedicated entirely to eroticism opened its doors. Abandoning all aspects of voyeurism, the Erotic Museum in Berlin is a magical place in which the imagination of man and the most refined works of art interact. This remarkable book is comprised of more than 350 rare illustrations, and accompanied by a major study written by,...

Conveying six centuries of gallantry, serving as the world capital of fashion and love, Paris is the very symbol of eroticism and of joyful sexuality. Offenbach, in La Vie Parisienne, had already created a hymn dedicated to the pleasure of senses. The author, with complete freedom, follows André Malraux’s approach by building an imaginary museum, in a Paris where time no longer exists, space is never-ending, and desire is always present. The iconography is exceptional, coming from unpublished...

Since The Turkish Baths (1863) by the French painter Ingres, the Far Eastern woman has, to many, been a symbol of out of reach or forbidden pleasures. Seafaring explorers, military adventurers and simple travellers from Europe over the centuries have all been enthralled by the exotic nature of the Asian woman, her foreignness accentuated by the gentle pallor of her skin. Thus arose the myth that she, of all women, was in possession of the knowledge of certain refined pleasures.

Lacan, dernier propriétaire de L’Origine du monde de Courbet, aimait le tableau si fort qu’il ne pouvait le regarder. Alors il le cacha derrière un tableau anodin. Les Chinois l’appelaient la « vallée des roses » (attention aux épines !), les Perses « la source du miel » (attention aux abeilles !), les Grecs « le mont de Vénus » (attention à l’escalade !). À chaque époque ses fantasmes et son explication du mystère de la femme. Il nous reste le témoignage des poètes, des peintres et même de...

Der Psychoanalytiker Jacques Lacan war nicht nur letzter Besitzer von Courbets Der Ursprung der Welt, sondern war sich auch dessen anzüglichem Inhalt bewusst. Und so tat der Liebhaber erotischer Kunst es seinen Vorbesitzern gleich und verhüllte beziehungsweise versteckte das Bild hinter einem „weniger obszönen“ Kunstwerk. Die Genealogie des weiblichen Geschlechts ist lang und jedes Zeitalter hatte seine ganz eigene, die Fantasie anregende Bezeichnung: Die Chinesen nannten es „Tal der Rosen“...
