 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.

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.

In relation to nudes, I work with amateur models. They pose for me because they love art and they do it with passion in each photography session, facing draw backs, long delays, hours travelling, cold or heat at times or just long walks some other times. They are the other part of this at of mine, since they give passion and effort in each photograph.
- Seductress: Women Who Ravished the World and Their Lost Art of Love...
Prioleau's captivating debut is a fervid self-help tract well-disguised
as a history. "Seductresses are in fact the liberated women incarnate,"
asserts the author in her opening chapter. "They're the stealth
heroines of history. The first feminists." It's a persuasive argument,
which Prioleau pounds home with massive fists full of quotations,
attributions and texts from anthropology, religion, psychology,
history, art, literature, music and anything else she can get her
hyperintellectual hands on. Modern women have lost their
goddess-centered groove, the Manhattan College professor asserts, and
as a consequence the entire race is going to hell in a male-dominated,
bimbo-focused handbasket.
- Egon Schiele: Erotic Sketches...
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.
- 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.
