Product Description

Product Description

Erotic photo art sadly lost much of its soul when Playboy and its ilk repackaged the female form for top-shelf consumption - Erotic Art Photography redresses that balance with a collection of some of the most exquisite erotic photographs of the past century - Beautifully designed and presented, this volume is a collector's dream From the lens of known and unknown photographers, models whose identities have long since been lost, grace the pages of this unique portfolio. Arranged chronologically, and representing over one hundred years of art, this collection shows how our perception of woman has developed over time and how the erotic dimensions of modesty and immodesty find expression on celluloid. The models have a strikingly natural appeal that dates back to a time before enhancement by either artificial augmentation or airbrushing, making this a true collector's book.

5.0 out of 5 stars An Encyclopedia of Vintate Erotica!!!, 16 Dec 2008
This is one of the best books of vintage erotica ever published! Collector and dealer, Alexandre Dupouy, has been a lifelong student of archeology and photography. And he's melded these two interests into a single-minded and scholarly pursuit of amassing the erotic works of all the early photography masters. His archive is an astonishing omnibus of rare and unique erotic photos and this new book is a breathtaking glimpse into that almost forgotten world. Erotic Art Photography is packed from cover to cover with full-page images showcasing the work, most of which is unique to this book, of numerous photographers including Pierre Lou˙s, Guglielmo Plüschow, Vincenzo Galdi, Constan, Henri Oltramare, José-Maria Canellas, François Bertin, André Dignimont, Grundworth, Michel Simon, Albert Wyndham, Yva Richard, and dozens of others.

It's important to stress that this is not just another presentation of the same images featured in so many other books of vintage erotica - most are rare pieces never before published in book form. It's a spectacular ride. And the production quality is almost up to par with the immaculate contents. It's a huge, superbly crafted book, 12x11" in size, and 256 pages.

The history and insights provided by Dupouy in the preface as well as in each of the six sections of the book is not only an erudite and informative study, it is also an obvious conduit for Dupouy's love for the medium. These photos are a precious treasure to him and he shares not only his knowledge here, but his love and enthusiasm as well.
