If it seems to you that erotic art has only recently appeared, you are thinking too well of our ancestors. In fact, they were quite inventive in this matter! Mainly “carnal pleasures” were reflected in painting, sculpture and architecture.
The earliest examples of erotic art include rock paintings, as well as figurines of the Paleolithic period. The age of one of them is as much as 35 thousand years!
Erotic papyri and sculptures from Ancient Egypt date back to the 13th century BC. Ancient Greek sculptures and frescoes of an intimate nature were created in the 1st century BC. Archaeologists also found cups and amphorae with quite interesting plots, dating back to the 5th century BC.
The most outspoken and pleasure-obsessed civilization is considered to be the culture of the Moche people, who existed throughout the first millennium AD in Peru. During excavations, scientists found almost half a thousand ceramic items depicting scenes of a love affair.
India, famous for the Kama Sutra and erotic miniatures, medieval Europe with handwritten books about erotica, Japan and engravings called “drawings of spring” – to this day, historians are finding more and more evidence of the looseness and existence of the erotic cult of previous generations.
It is impossible not to mention the French craftsmen who became famous in the 19th century for printing postcards with pornographic content. Moreover, today’s artist comes from France.
He lives in Paris. And that’s all that can be said about him. Because the author maintains complete anonymity, without revealing his real name. This is understandable, because the master’s illustrations are partly pornographic in nature.
The artist’s drawings are quite frank, but one cannot help but note the subtlety and some sophistication of the author. The anonymous person presents sex softly, drawing only a few neat ink lines.
The artist combined the illustrations into one project called “Petites Luxures” (translated from French as “little lusts”), posting a whole series of images on his Instagram page. Users liked the drawings, bringing the artist more than a million subscribers.
It’s no surprise that these delightfully mischievous illustrations come from the country that gave us artists like the Marquis de Sade and Georges Bataille. Many talented people specializing in erotica came from France. And now one of them has finally appeared on the Internet.
