Description
|
|
|
|
With each new technological advance, erotic art as a communication form has proliferated and degraded in quality, posits Alan Moore. Today, pornography is everywhere, but where is it art? Here Moore surveys the history of erotic expression and argues that the success and vibrancy of a society relates to its permissiveness in sexual matters: "Sexually progressive cultures gave us literature, philosophy, civilization and the rest, while sexually restrictive cultures gave us the Dark Ages and the Holocaust." Moore's provocatively illustrated book describes the evolution of erotic art from the Venus of Willendorf, created some 24,000 years ago, to staged events with nude models by Vanessa Beecroft.
