Book Details Title: Erotica Universalis (Bibliotheca Universalis) (English, French and German Edition) | |
Book DescriptionReview “…it’s possibly the only place you’ll see Rembrandt alongside Robert Crumb, and expert editing means the collection never strays into the predictable Erotic Print Society territory.”“Icons―from Egypt’s Golden Empire to present day―with a knack for translating sexual fantasies into master works of art.” Read more About the Author Gilles Néret (1933–2005) was an art historian, journalist, writer, and museum correspondent. He organized several art retrospectives in Japan and founded the SEIBU Museum and the Wildenstein Gallery in Tokyo.

His TASCHEN titles include Salvador Dalí: The Paintings, Matisse, and Erotica Universalis. Read more Customers Review: This book proves that the hardcore pornography of today is nothing new. Erotica may be the title but most of what is depicted in art here is hardcore sexual acts, full genitalia , nothing left to the imagination. This is not amateur quality art either and even famous artists are represented, going back centuries. Excellent book and high quality printing.
