erotic art books

A visual feast of erotic art books, magazines, and erotic comix featuring erotic painting, photography, and erotic illustration.

Action
After just a quick flip though Action, patterns emerge that point to Kern’s favourite personal touches – a fondness for nylons and high heels, on-location shooting and a subtle appreciation for 90’s pop culture. Upon giving this volume some more attention, though, it becomes apparent that the models’ personalities and senses of humour play a vital part in the creation of the photographs, too: cigarettes being smoked from between toes, pin-ups posed with birth control pills in hand, gleeful interactions with sex toys and groceries all add curiosity and quirkiness to this sexy visual feast.Complete with an accompanying DVD and a clever disguise in the form of a reversible dust jacket, this gorgeously glossy book of photographs by erotic photographer Richard Kern is definitely an amusing and exciting ride!

The Secret Life of Syrian Lingerie
"The Secret Life of Syrian Lingerie" explores the interesting dualistic sex culture in Syrian inner-city markets, where veiled women buy hoards of imaginative and playful racy lingerie.

Complete with interviews from various walks of life and tales from Lingerie lovers and those not-so-enthused, this interesting exploration into this niche industry demonstrates the colorful outcome of class distinctions and religious convictions, all reflected in the openly displayed burlap g-strings and curtain bras of the Syrian market place in Damascus. | Learn more about The Secret Life of Syrian Lingerie.

Hot Topic: Portraits of 20th Century Feminists
Hot Topic: Portraits of 20th Century Feminists Do you know your lineage? Not your bloodline, heritage or your family tree, but the paths of those who have fought similar battles? Those figures throughout history who's passions ignite your own goals, who's struggles are yours, whose handwork and hardship you are indebted. Hot Topic: Portraits of 20th Century Feminists, is a pictorial tracing of the lineage of any feminist. Taking it's queue from the riot girl band Le Tigre's song of the same name, Kirsten Mccrea's art-work produces mixed-media portraits of all the feminists named in the infamous Hot Topic song. Complete with short descriptions of every featured inspirational figure of feminist lineage, it traces the paths from Arethera Franklin to Kathleen Hannon. With artists, activists, writers, musicians, culture makers and the likes, some well-renoun and others lost in the barrage of mainstream celebrity culture, Hot Topic is an artistic archive of feminist plights. As described by the Montreal-based artist: "In a world that celebrates manufactured pop-stars but forgets the names of suffragettes, I wanted to find a way to solidify the memory of the underground superstars whose creativity and ideas have made such a difference to feminists of my generation." So, what's your lineage?

I'll Show You Mine
I'll Show You Mine is a gorgeously presented hardcover photobook that showcases up-close pictures of women's vulvas (from 2 angles), with an explanation from each woman how her vagina makes her feel, what she thinks of it, and how she relates to it. A Canadian production, the point of the project is to shake the notion that all women's body parts should look the same way, or that one vagina is more "normal" or acceptable. The goal is to open up conversation and acceptance, as well as to showcase the beauty that anyone with a vagina holds. Fantastically done.

Paying For It: A Comic Strip About Being A John

Paying For It: A Comic Strip About Being A John
Chester Brown's comic "Paying For It" delves into his personal experience as a john, dealing with loaded topics such as possessive monogamy and the stigmatization sex workers and johns. A much needed entry into discussion around sex work, Brown's work is not without faults (with his over-generalization of sex work activism, depictions of feminists as sex-negative and generally body and beauty normative ideas); yet we are grateful for a comic that brazenly begins the much needed discussion around sex work. | Learn more about Paying For It: A Comic Strip About Being A John.
