The quintessential threesome

The power of sex

Formidable Russian talent

Dream on

The ultimate transgressions
7th July 2021
Experimenter, iconoclast, bon viveur (he has his own vineyard), and a wicked sense of humour – that’s today’s new artist, Eric Provoost. See his Bataille Histoire d l’oeil portfolio and his wonderful erotic alphabets here.
Exploring transgression
6th July 2021
Today’s new artist, Paris-based visionary Yves Milet-Desfougères, maybe requires a bit more visual attention than some, but his imaginative and detailed portfolios based on transgressive texts by Batailles and Sade are well worth the effort. See them here.
Hot nights, cold hearts …

A French chambermaid’s explicit diary, or hot nights in the Caribbean? That’s what’s on offer from today’s new illustrator, Charles-Auguste Edelmann, who produced this art in the 1930s. You can read all about him and see his talented work here.
Endless pleasure

What they got up to in fifteenth-century France
3rd July 2021
Today’s talented new artist is Clement Lapuszewski, who used the pseudonym ‘J Stall’ and is sometimes confused with André Collot. Sadly he only illustrated two books, but his witty eroticism is well worth spending some time with. See his work here.
