 An intimate look at the erotic studies and paintings of a controversial artist whose works continues to provoke even today.
Schiele’s fiercely drawn lines and confrontational compositions command our attention. His erotic art, most of all, evokes feelings of discomfort, titillation, curiosity, and even repulsion, and yet bears testimony to his talent and passion. This beautifully crafted collection of erotic masterpieces showcases the themes Schiele wove into all of his work: a fascination with the human psyche and sexuality, a desire to destroy the conservative facade of moral righteousness and expose the inner truth. Designed to resemble an artist’s sketchbook, this book offers viewers a chance to gain a better understanding of the technique and vision of this revolutionary painter.

Egon Schiele is known for being grotesque, erotic, pornographic, and disturbing, focusing on sex, death, and discovery. He focused on portraits of others as well as himself. In his later years, while he still worked often with nudes, they were done in a more realist fashion. He also painted tributes to Van Gogh's Sunflowers as well as landscapes and still lifes.
- Egon Schiele: Eros And Passion...
Egon Schiele’s controversial nudes and self-portraits were fiercely reviled when they first appeared in the early decades of the twentieth century and, nearly one hundred years later, they still have the power to shock. Examining why Schiele’s work elicits this response, the author explores the social constrictions of Schiele’s generation and the role of the artist as a breaker of taboos. Incorporating superb reproductions of Schiele’s works, those of his contemporaries, and historical photographs, the author offers a penetrating study of an artist whose idea of beauty transcended the morality of his time.
- Egon Schiele: 1890-1918: Desire and Decay...
"Hindering the artist is a crime," wrote Egon Schiele in 1912. At the time he was in prison for disseminating immoral drawings. Throughout his work the note of defiance, provocation, and rebellion was sounded. Schiele's favorite subjects were female nudes and self-portraits, and he worked at his art with furious commitment, though it was not until shortly before his early death that he began to win real recognition. Today, with Oskar Kokoschka, he is seen as the most important of the Austrian artists who came after Klimt. This study examines the life and work of Egon Schiele through all the major oil paintings and many of his erotic drawings.

Photography as a way of living, with all its opportunities for
expression, became my passion at an early stage. In particular, the
magic of nude photography, which often lends the model an even greater
aura of beauty and grace, is a great fascination for me. My models are
my first and most important audience in what I do. I try to emphasize
their individual charisma with specific erotic symbolism, and to
approach the variety of their personalities with creative versatility.

Henri Matisse (31 December 1869 – 3 November 1954) was a French artist, known for his use of colour and his fluid, brilliant and original draftsmanship. As a draftsman, printmaker, and sculptor, but principally as a painter, Matisse is one of the best-known artists of the 20th century. Although he was initially labeled as a Fauve (wild beast), by the 1920s, he was increasingly hailed as an upholder of the classical tradition in French painting. His mastery of the expressive language of colour and drawing, displayed in a body of work spanning over a half-century, won him recognition as a leading figure in modern art.

- History of German Porn: Gretchen Kraut Collection...
Germans are not really famous for their great passions or pleasures.
Abroad, people like to watch them falling under the tables at carnival
or at the October Fest, drunk and merry. Tacitus seems to have known
this side. He tells tales of the ancestors of the Germans, in classical
Rome. He found them a hard and wild tribe that loved to roam the
wilderness, stark naked. Indestructible even then but not really
prepared to enjoy lust and pleasure.
