Gustav Klimt (July 14, 1862 – February 6, 1918) was an Austrian Symbolist painter and one of the most prominent members of the Vienna Art Nouveau (Vienna Secession) movement. His major works include paintings, murals, sketches and other art objects, many of which are on display in the Vienna Secession gallery. Klimt's primary subject is the female body, and his works are marked by a frank eroticism. His pencil drawings, which are very numerous, have been regarded by many as his greatest legacy.

History of Nude Photographers

2006-08-22T23:50:00.000Z

In the 19th century many nude photographers chose to remain anonymous
so it is extremely difficult to source biographies of their work.
However this site below are a few documentanted photographersw with
short biographies.
I’ve tried to organise it into some chronological order to represent
some sort of timeline.

Ithaca

2006-08-18T01:02:00.000Z

When you set out on your journey to Ithaca,
pray that the road is long,
full of adventure, full of knowledge.
The Lestrygonians and the Cyclops,
the angry Poseidon -- do not fear them:
You will never find such as these on your path,
if your thoughts remain lofty, if a fine
emotion touches your spirit and your body.
The Lestrygonians and the Cyclops,
the fierce Poseidon you will never encounter,
if you do not carry them within your soul,
if your soul does not set them up before you.

Pray that the road is long.
That the summer mornings are many, when,
with such pleasure, with such joy
you will enter ports seen for the first time;
stop at Phoenician markets,
and purchase fine merchandise,
mother-of-pearl and coral, amber and ebony,
and sensual perfumes of all kinds,
as many sensual perfumes as you can;
visit many Egyptian cities,
to learn and learn from scholars.

Always keep Ithaca in your mind.
To arrive there is your ultimate goal.
But do not hurry the voyage at all.
It is better to let it last for many years;
and to anchor at the island when you are old,
rich with all you have gained on the way,
not expecting that Ithaca will offer you riches.

Ithaca has given you the beautiful voyage.
Without her you would have never set out on the road.
She has nothing more to give you.

And if you find her poor, Ithaca has not deceived you.
Wise as you have become, with so much experience,
you must already have understood what Ithacas mean.

Constantine P. Cavafy (1911)

Keith Banham - Fine art erotica photographer and digital artist

“My aim is to express my inner visions of sex and intimacy through my art. Whether that be a couple making love in front of me or a young girl exposing her sex to me, a certain look and feel, a orgasm shared, a erotic act shared with the public for the first time, all these things are highly erotic in themselves and for all participating in the experience, including you, the viewer. My erotic visions are as boundless as the subject of sex itself and therefore has become a timeless exploration and interpretation for myself and my audience. Don’t just look at my images, immerse yourself into the scene. Be the photographer, the artist; be the characters, feel the emotions for each, imagine the smells and the tastes for yourself. Join me!”

Tunner: We're probably the first tourists they've had since the war.
Kit Moresby: Tunner, we're not tourists. We're travelers.
Tunner: Oh. What's the difference?
Port Moresby: A tourist is someone who thinks about going home the moment they arrive, Tunner.
Kit Moresby: Whereas a traveler might not come back at all.
Tunner: You mean I'm a tourist.
Kit Moresby: Yes, Tunner. And I'm half and half.

"In 1931, without any preconceived notion of what I should find there, I paid a visit to Morocco. Two months, I thought, would suffice for seeing the place. And so they would have if what I saw had not awakened a wish to see more, a wish which seemed to grow even as it was being satisfied. At first it expressed itself as a desire to wander over the surface of the land. During that year and the succeeding three years I examined the remote corners of Morocco, Algeria, Tunisia and the northern Sahara, sometimes renting a small house, sometimes being the guest of a Moslem family, but usually spending only a night or two in a room of some establishment that hopefully called itself a hotel, before moving on to the next place. After the War I returned to Morocco and bought a home there. This time I became aware of the fact that it was not the landscape I wanted to know, but the people.

A Distant Episode and The Delicate Prey are products of the earlier period; they date from 1945 and 1948 respectively. There is some reason for my taking a defensive attitude in discussing these two tales. I still live in Morocco and have many Moslem friends. The few of these who have read them do not think highly of them. It is easy to understand why, since they seem to go out of their way to present the Moslems in an unflattering light. The fact that both tales are based on actual occurrences is beside the point; every story has to come from somewhere, inside or outside, and these two happened to come out of conversations I had with people in the Sahara. Even if I had invented them wholly, instead of only stumbling upon the nucleus of each tale, their truth or lack of it would still have to be gauged according to other than factual criteria, since primarily they are tales not about human beings, but about a place. The place is the Sahara, synonym of emptiness, silence and death, a region whose impact upon the senses and imagination is clearly expressed in terms of inhuman and brutal behavior. The Moslems consider writing to be a means of influencing opinions. Thus to them such an approach is an immoral one. because it presents atypical behavior. But even they, when they tell their own tales to one another, stress the extraordinary, rather than the usual."
―Paul Bowles

Pol Lendent - Painting

2006-08-03T01:07:00.000Z

Pol Ledent

[…] l’art de Pol Ledent, que les spécialistes qualifieraient sans doute de postimpressionniste, mérite d’abord l’appellation de romantique, au sens le plus noble du terme, car il s’adresse prioritairement au cœur : sans mièvrerie ni affectation, l’artiste donne libre cours à une sensibilité authentique.

Sensibilité ou sensualité ? La question mérite au moins d’être posée, tant semble perceptible l’attachement quasi physique que porte le peintre à son sujet. […]
Bref, par l’authenticité de son inspiration et la qualité de sa réalisation, la peinture de Pol Ledent est de celles qui transcendent les modes et ont toutes les chances de passer à la postérité.
