A-muse-ment

The best orgy ever?
25th November 2024
There is no better-known erotic narrative than Alfred de Musset’s Gamiani, and no illustrator better-suited to depict its outrageous orgiastic scenes than Berthomme Saint-André. We have now added all the plates from the 1940 de luxe edition which you will find by clicking here – enjoy!
Pleasures of the flesh
19th November 2024
Half a century ago the world was shocked by The Joy of Sex, and the French were quick to follow up in 1975 with Les Joies de la Chair (pleasures of the flesh, unexpurgated and illustrated!). See all those very-daring-for-the-time illustrations now by clicking here.
Blood and roses
17th November 2024
Bold, visceral, intuitive – this is the work of today’s new artist, Canadian Elly Smallwood. ‘Sexuality provokes the strongest reaction in people,’ she says, ‘especially when it’s construed as vulgar. I’m all for making my viewers think!’ See Elly’s work now by clicking here.

In the raw
7th November 2024
Real-world sex (just like real-world politics) is raw, messy, tender, exposed and chaotic, and today’s new artist, Dieter Rossi, captures all these qualities in his paintings – beautiful and horrific, gentle and harrowing. See Rossi’s powerful work now by clicking here.
Where praise is due
5th November 2024
Phalluses as noses, snakes, bulls and fruit stands, and transformed breasts and testicles as bunches of grapes – that’s the work of today’s new artist, the multi-talented Italian Piero Fornasetti. See his Elogium Mentulae (In Praise of the Penis) now by clicking here.
