Les amies …

21st January 2026

Today’s new artist, the Parisian Henri Farge, only ever produced one erotic portfolio, in 1921 for Verlaine’s sonnets in praise of lesbian love Les amies. They leave us wishing he had received more similar commissions. See Farge’s work now by clicking here.

Real women

17th January 2026

Today’s new artist is Suzanne Valadon, who learned how to draw and paint as a model, friend, and sometimes lover of Renoir, Morisot, Toulouse-Lautrec and Degas. With her humble origins she felt free to show her naked women as unposed, free and natural – a remarkable pioneer. See her work now by clicking here.

Unknown Warhol

14th January 2026

Our 701st new artist, Andy Warhol, might need no introduction, but you’ll be intrigued by his lesser known erotic work – ‘Love is a Pink Cake’, ‘At the Bottom of my Garden’, and many early homoerotic drawings. You can find them all by clicking here.

Our new 700 Artists Appeal

10th January 2026

It seems only yesterday that we were celebrating having reached 600 artists (it was actually just over a year ago), but here we are at 700 and counting! When we started this project seven years ago we could not have imagined that the world could possibly contain so much high-quality erotic artwork… read more

We’ve realised recently that a lot of people are enjoying the website but missing out on one of its most useful and interesting features. Not only does every one of our 700 artists include a full biography with links to resources and websites as appropriate, but so does every portfolio.

Bodies of power

9th January 2026

Today’s new artist – the 700th on the site! – is the remarkable and openly bisexual Tamara de Lempicka, way ahead of her time with her languid, sculptural naked bodies, the artist who in the 1920s and 30s eroticised modern female sexuality. See her work now by clicking here.

The colour of gay

7th January 2026

The colourful pastels by Michael Breyette, today’s new artist, occupy a distinctive niche within contemporary gay figurative painting, bridging the personal and the universal through their unabashed celebration of the male body. Sadly we lost Michael to cancer just over a month ago, but you can see his art now by clicking here.

L’Enfer des Classiques

4th January 2026

A little amuse-bouche for you all today, a portfolio from the great André Collot illustrating a collection of classic French erotic texts, demonstrating his mastery of simple yet refined composition and colouring. See L’Enfer des Classiques now by clicking here.

Queer as it comes

2nd January 2026

For the first new artist of 2026 we bring you the work of New York master of queerotica Fyodor Pavlov. Drawing skilfully on the traditions of late nineteenth and early twentieth century erotic illustration, his experimental, playful, transgressive art is a joy to behold – see it now by clicking here.

Homo eroticus

31st December 2025

 

The work of today’s new artist, the last of the year, Cyril Georget’s art is unashamedly homoerotic. His work explores desire as a lived, quietly observed reality, the male body presented as vulnerable, sensual, and emotionally present. See his work now by clicking here.
