1337 Warhol Way, San Diego, CA. In the heart of downtown.
“Unbound” is an exploration of unexpected erotic art from mostly well
known artists. Pieces were selected and put together with careful
consideration, with the intent of spanning time and genres. We looked for
erotic images that were attached to familiar names, images that most wouldn’t
expect to have seen from them. This
exhibit is meant to show examples of erotic art from several different style
perspectives, so that each image is unique and powerful on it’s own.

La maja desnuda , oil on can vas by Francisco Goya, 1797–1800 Francisco De Goya was a Spanish artist born on March 30, 1746. He became an apprentice of art when he was fourteen years old. An established portrait painter, among other accomplishments such as church frescos, the style of his art spanned several different genres. ( http://www.franciscodegoya.net/biography.html ) This is a painting from the romanticism period of art. Her exaggerated beauty makes her unnervingly unrealistic. I chose this painting because I found it fascinating that he first painted this, and then painted a nearly identical image of her with her clothing on. This is one of the first Western paintings to show a woman’s pubic hair without any negative symbolism behind it (such as prostitution). ( http://totallyhistory.com/la-maja-desnuda/ )
