This book is part of D.M. Klinger's extensive Erotic Art Series, one of the largest collections of erotic paintings, drawings, sculptures, and photographs from both the East and the West. Focusing on erotic art before World War I, it covers a period when sexuality emerged as a central theme in both science and art, beginning to influence culture, society, and artistic expression. This series features works by renowned masters such as Martin van Meele, Pierre Lalanche, Johannes Martini, André Corot, Walter Krem, and Gerda Wegener, as well as many unknown artists. Most of the works were obtained from private collections and reflect Klinger's scholarly approach and deep knowledge of Western art, especially decorative art. This Japanese-exclusive 1999 softcover edition is a highly sought-after work among collectors of erotic art, complete with a flyer and a postcard. Condition: There is a slight crease at the top of the softcover, but overall the book is in good condition.
