Mario Tauzin circa 1955 1960 curiosa, two erotic engravings. 2 plates by Mario Tauzin 32 x 25 cm reproduced on BFK Rives vellum, from the “Interdit aux Adultes” collection published around 1955-1960. Another collection, Attitudes” had been published under the table around 1950 (series of 20 plates printed in 300 copies for a group of fine arts connoisseurs). Mario Tauzin, born in Saint-Pardoux-Isaac on 25 September 1909 and died on 31 October 1979 in Nice was a French artist, painter, illustrator, and draughtsman. Mario Tauzin is known for his erotic drawings that he began in the 1930s and later published in different formats. These drawings done with a precise stroke made the artist famous amongst bibliophiles seeking beautiful typical curiosa. It is almost a western interpretation of the Kama Sutra by a very inspired Frenchman.
