The Art of Jack Henslee - Pretty Ladies
Erotic Books - Erotic Art Classics

What happens in Vegas stays in Vegas - unless it's the eye-popping, smile-producing artwork of that town's most celebrated artistic influence - Jack Henslee! Texas-born, Henslee started out creating portraits of Native American and wildlife scenes. It's when he got to Las Vegas that he started to illustrate that OTHER wildlife of nightclubs and showgirls!





 

 


Then, not surprisingly, his reputation was really made! An artist of multiple disciplines, this book focuses on his ability to create inspired illustrations of the female form. In his portraits, the pin-up standard is transcended, and there's a wonderful reality to his art. The girls are not so much idealized as lovingly appreciated, in all their winsome ways! The book is printed on heavyweight coated stock, and the reproduction of the works is state-of-the-art! If you're a fan of the pin-up, or just a devotee of outstanding artworks, this will be a fine addition to your library.

About the Author
Born in Fort Worth, the journey of Jack Henslee and his art has taken him from coast to coast, but his inclinations always seem to lead him home to Texas and his pretty ladies. Inspired in his youth by traditional illustration disciplines, Jack's first endeavors of creative works focused on Native American and wildlife themes. Discarding an early inclination toward architecture, Jack's professional path then drifted toward the development of an illustrious career among the competitive elite of Las Vegas illustrators and graphic designers where he distinguished himself as one of the industry's most prolific and sought-after artisans amid the exclusive high-dollar hotels and casinos of the strip. Jack now quietly resides a scant 15 miles from the neighborhood where he grew up, devoting his full focus back onto his pretty ladies.

  • Un*/Cut...
    With "UN*/CUT" Giovanni opens another chapter of desire for male meat! This sexual organ has never been more directly or excitingly set into scene than in this fascinating declaration of love. "UN*/CUT" is the follow-up to the incredibly successful "Bites" by the same photographer.                
  • Bad Girls Hotel...
    Is this erotic art, a social statement, or is it just pornography’ As a documentation of the wilder side of New York City in the 21st century, Coulter's models are certainly girls on the edge, with tattoos, piercings and dyed hair. They are dancers, escorts, waitresses, and an occasional medical student. But for some reason, they are all drawn to showing off their bodies in ways that reveal not just their private parts, but also reveal their characters and a sense of rebellion. Done in the course of a year at the notorious Carlton Arms Hotel on 25th street, where nobody in their right mind would ever stay, these are strange photos.  
  • Naked Happy Girls...
    As a collection of pictures of attractive women, Naked Happy Girls is pleasing and a little unusual. While undoubtedly erotic, it avoids most of the clichés of standard glamour photography. It remains voyeuristic and feminists might condemn it as objectivizing, but it certainly isn't pornographic by contemporary standards. The work is playful and even cheerful, showing beautiful women in natural light. Ultimately though, the book doesn't compare with more provocative and innovative nude photography. There are some strong images, especially those in which the subject looks directly and openly into the camera, because in those, the women convey their own power, and show themselves as equal to the photographer and the viewer.

  • Sex and the Floating World: Erotic Images in Japan 1700-1820...
    This revised and expanded second edition of Timon Screech's definitive "Sex and the Floating World" offers a new assessment of the genre of Japanese paintings and prints known as shunga. Changes in Japanese law in the 1990s enabled erotic images to be published without fear of prosecution, and many shunga picture-books have since appeared. There has, however, been very little attempt to situate the imagery within the contexts of sexuality, gender or power.Questions of aesthetics, and of whether shunga deserve a place in the official history of Japanese art, have dominated, and the question of the use of these images has been avoided. Timon Screech seeks to re-establish shunga in a proper historical frame of culture and creativity.
  • Dirty Little Drawings: The Queer Men's Erotic Art Workshop...
    A visual experiment by a number of New York artists - intoxicating! New York City six years ago - a small group of fourteen young restless gay artists joined forces. Frustrated that the drawing courses on offer only had nude models in academic poses they decide to take matters into their own hands. Thus the QUEER MEN'S EROTIC ART WORKSHOP was born! In the following years the group expanded to almost 100 gay artists and their collaboration proved to be quite fruitful. Together they produced around 12,000 drawings - DIRTY LITTLE DRAWINGS.
  • Art/Porn: A History of Seeing and Touching...
    Do we really know pornography when we see it? Pornography is condemned for being "too close" while erotica is defended as "leaving room for the imagination." And the art of the nude is treated as something much more special, located even further away from the potential of arousal. Art/Porn argues that these distinctions are based on an age-old antithesis between sight and touch, an antithesis created and maintained for centuries by art criticism.

  • The New Erotic Photography...
    When you call it art, you can keep really hot photos right there on the coffee table. No one pulls this trick off like TASCHEN, the art-book publisher that made smut a cultural celebration. This new collection features the sexiest nudes you're likely to see outside the pages of Penthouse, including work by Steve Diet Goedde, Natasha Merritt, Craig Morey, Dave Naz, and many others and was compiled by acclaimed adult editor Dian Hanson and fetish photographer Eric Kroll. The international cast of visionaries captures the allure of women doing everything from eating ice cream or licking their own nipples to lounging languidly for a smoke or simply showing off a sumptuous behind; the book includes quotations from the photos articulating their inspiration.
