Turin Erotic Papyrus Papyrus scroll painting, approx. 1150 BC. Artist Unknown. There is nothing new to the concept of erotic art. I included this image because of it's age. Here is a reproduction of part of the scroll.  I just wanted to show that eroticism is as old as humanity. I hope that we can continue to create such provoking works of art for eternity.

Nude Descending a Staircase (No. 2), Marcel Duchamp, 1912, Oil on canvas, 57 7/8 x 35 1/8 inches (147 x 89.2 cm)  " I have forced myself to contradict myself in order to avoid conforming to my own tastes." -Marcel Duchamp Marcel Duchamp was a French cubism artist born on July 28 th 1887.  He is known as a leader of the American Dada movement.  His work is well known to contain hidden innuendo and sexual humor.  ( http://www.theartstory.org/artist-duchamp-marcel.htm) Cubism is a genre that likes to pick apart objects and attempt to display them from several viewpoints at once.

He was known by over thirty different names in is lifetime, and much as his persona changed so his the style of his art.   ( http://www.katsushikahokusai.org/biography.html ) Traditional Japanese art is a varied and lovely thing. From pottery to silk screens, every piece of it has a watery almost serene look to me. This image is Sumi-e, or an ‘ink picture’ it combines ink and calligraphy to make a rather unique and stunning composition. I chose this image because it toys with a lot of themes from Japanese art, with a subject matter that is disturbing and shocking. I don’t know why it surprised me to find a famous piece of art depicting an octopus pleasuring a woman, but it did. Even if the shock teeters on disgust, art should make you feel and this p...
