A richly illustrated survey of erotic art, this volume presents a sweeping overview of the artists who defined sensual and sexual expression throughout the twentieth century. Twentieth Century Masters of Erotic Art chronicles the work of painters, sculptors, and graphic artists who pushed the boundaries of acceptable representation, situating their contributions within the broader cultural and social upheavals of their time. Bradley Smith curates a diverse international roster of talent, illustrating how erotic art evolved from the private salons of the early 1900s through the liberating movements of the 1960s and beyond. The tone is scholarly yet accessible, treating its subject with the seriousness of fine art criticism while acknowledging the provocative nature of the works on display. An essential reference for collectors, art historians, and anyone interested in the intersection of human sexuality and artistic expression, the text argues persuasively that erotic art occupies a legitimate and vital place in the canon of modern Western art.
