About the author
Taschen
508 books326 followers'Taschen is an art book publisher founded in 1980 by Benedikt Taschen in Cologne, Germany. It began as Taschen Comics publishing Benedikt's extensive comic collection. Taschen has been a noteworthy force in making lesser-seen art available to mainstream bookstores, including some fetishistic imagery, queer art, historical erotica, pornography and adult magazines (including multiple books with Playboy magazine). Taschen has helped bring this art into broader public view, by publishing these potentially controversial volumes alongside its more mainstream books of comics reprints, art photography, painting, design, fashion, advertising history, film, and architecture.' - Wikipedia

Le truc rigolo à lire, enfin à feuilleter, zieuter. Il s'agit d'une compilation d'illustrations dites "érotiques" à travers les époques. L'auteur distingue 6 périodes "érotiques" : antiqua, classica, revolutionnaria, romantica, novae, moderna. Celles-ci sont relativement fantaisistes. Ce qui nous empêche pas de retrouver les marqueurs des différentes époques définies par l'histoire de l'art.
Plus qu'érotiques, vous y trouverez des représentations sexuelles qui visent plus la satyre ou la parodie que l'excitation.
J'ai beaucoup rit!

With introduction about erotica as a defense against death in English, French, and German, these 30 postcards from remote antiquity to the 20th Century form an arc of erotic depictions. Apparently, such human art went from shamanistic phallic displays to one or more women in consensual sex-play to one woman actor in a bondage vignette.

Although there is nothing to read here save a few snippets, this compilation is ehm... educational if not amusing. Some look okay while others I might have nightmares from...
4 stars for the winged dicks.

Fantástico compilación de imágenes sobre sexo y erotismo occidentales (excluidos los afroamericanos y pueblos originarios.. seguramente esos vacíos darán paso a otros libros)
