 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...
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.
- Henri Matisse...
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.
- Velvet Heat: Erotic Poetry for the Carnal Mind...
Sex is poetry. It can be a song, a verse, like music, melodious and
rhythmic. Poetry is passion—direct or lettered with illusion. When
given as a gift, poetry is romantic, beautiful, even chivalrous. It can
serve as a definition of thought, a gesture, a move. It can even be
foreplay.

- Egon Schiele: Drawings and Watercolors...
Austrian Expressionist Egon Schiele produced a prolific body of work before his early death at the age of twenty-eight in 1918. The oeuvre is comprised of a few hundred oil paintings and thousands of drawings and watercolors.
Schiele's oils have often been reproduced and are well recognized. However, limited access to the fragile works on paper and dispersion among several collections have made for an unbalanced representation of his work as a draftsman.

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.
- 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.
- The Book of the Courtesans: A Catalogue of Their Virtues...
Hard on the heels of the film Moulin Rouge comes this idiosyncratic
meditation on that 18th- and 19th-century curiosity, the courtesan, the
woman who, though usually from limited means, parlayed her beauty,
sexuality and talent into a position of luxury and celebrity as the
mistress of one or several men of means. Readers looking for a sober
social history of the world portrayed in the film will not find it
here, for Griffin's approach is almost as kaleidoscopic as the movie's.
In a series of brief chapters, each devoted to a particular "virtue,"
that is, a talent central to the courtesan's success (such as "Gaiety,"
"Charm," "Cheek"), feminist critic, playwright and poet Griffin (What
Her Body Thought; Women and Nature; etc.) mines the memoirs of her
subjects for stories illustrating their ability to vault beyond the
constraints of their age and gender.
