A wonderfully erotic Tarot pack

18th February 2021

It’s a pity that the only erotic portfolio produced by the Italian illustrator Giacinto Gaudenzi is his 2006 Decameron Tarot, a masterpiece of miniature artistry and well worth close study, as are his thoughts on the skills required to be an illustrator – see his amazing work here.

1920s angst and pleasure

11th February 2021

Today’s new artist is the Hungarian/Austrian (and a dash of French) painter and engraver Rezső Merényi, the author of three rare erotic portfolios, which we now have the pleasure of sharing in their entirety. See them here, and enjoy!

So what’s that dangly bit actually for?

10th February 2021

It seems that German artists after WW1 were having a bit of a sexual identity crisis; if women were gaining power, what did that mean for phallic privilege? The anonymous Pipifax (German for a piddling trifle) had a few rather grotesque ideas – you can see them here.

The best of French spooning

9th February 2021

Do you know the difference between bon couché and con bouché? If you love spoonerisms (and who doesn’t?) you'll appreciate Léon Courbouleix’s Lapsus Linguae (slips of the tongue to you and us) – explore and enjoy this new portfolio here.

 

 

Up-market debauchery

We know very little about the Belgian illustrator Georges Drains, but in 1921 he produced the most exquisite artwork for the Marquis de Sade’s Venice Brothel. New on the site, see the whole portfolio and more here. Enjoy!

Flesh, juice and (possibly) fun

Another thought-provoking contemporary artist for you today, New York-based Monica Cook, with her viscerally haunting paintings featuring fish and pomegranates, oxygen cylinders and wheelchairs – oh, and naked women. Visit them here and see what you think.

Erotic classics in powerful comic format

O Mensch! Gib acht!

4th February 2021

If 1920s flappers wearing nothing but silk stockings is your thing, you’ll love this new artist, Ludwig Lutz Ehrenberger. Heartfelt cry from the artist’s own experience or merely an opportunity to exhibit his lesbian fantasies? Judge for yourself – see his work here.

Today’s new artist is even more elusive than Q (our Anon is much more rewarding!). Who was the prolific ‘Fameni’ of the fertile erotic imagination? Whoever they were, you can see the best online collection of their work here. Can you offer any more clues?
