I´s hard to imagine a subject more popular in art than sexual love. Eroticism is a truly universal theme, endlessly fascinating and offering inspiration to artits both famous and obscure. Eortic art is telling: It reveals much about an era, a culture, and psychology; different concepts of beauty and morality; it can be sweet, aggressive, soothing, or wild. How to Read Erotic Art explores the history of erotic art and presents paintings, drawings, etchings, sculptures, and more by Titian, Picasso, and Andy Warhol, by Bernini, Rodin, and Bruce Nauman, and from ancientGreece and Rome, China, Japan , India, and the Middle East. Reproduced in lush color with close-up details, the art is accompanied by texts that offer insights into how to read the different works. In this book, erotic art gives up its secrets.
