Erotic Art

Summary: Interesting "art" book, but maybe it goes a little too far
Review: I bought this book because I thought it would be an interesting read on an art topic that gets little honest coverage. It contains a ton of erotic pieces of art. Many of these works are beautiful and very well done, but there are several that border on straight up pornography. This book is definitely not appropriate for young children to look at. B+

Summary: A Book on Examples of Erotic Art in the West
Review: This book has a decent collection of erotic artwork. What I would consider as art would be "expression". Unfortunately there are a couple of examples which I think would not qualify as art but as porn. For example, a photo of nothing except showing the unification of the male and female organs----that does not express anything.

This book does not show erotic art of various cultures; it shows only examples from the West. So if you are looking for oriental, Japanese or Indian, etc. examples of erotic art, you won't find it here.

On the whole, this book is reasonably good in its choice of examples and the images are clear. I would give this book a "B" grade.

...I would like to point out that any good erotic art book is NEVER meant for children.
