Erotica
Margaret Brundage
Margaret Brundage (b. 1900 - d. 1972) was an American illustrator and painter who is best remembered for her artistic contributions to pulp magazines, most notably the pulp covers for Weird Tales. The majority of the magazine's readers had no idea she was female, as she signed her pieces "M. Brundage," and complaints about the erotic nature of work increased only after it was revealed that "M" stood for "Margaret."

Obscurity and Erotica with Hamishi
Hamishi uses faceless flesh-toned figures to communicate his idea of erotica. By contorting their forms into bizarre shapes, and using obscure imagery, he illuminates a conceptual undertone of the human body.
Maya Fiala Grau
Cadaqués based photographer Maya Fiala Grau for the exquisitley surreal blending and mirroring of the female form.
Kathryn Macnaughton
'Combining drawing with collage in a hue of light pastel shades, softening any ‘filthy rautten’ pornographic material, Macnaughton creates random associations that some of us might think is fictional mess, but some will see subliminal messages, suggestive imagery of an interpretation of the real. Asides from the women, shapes are prominent, patterns may be used to fill space, add game or are intentionally drawing you towards something, an idea or relationship.'
Madonna + Meisel
The creative partnership and deep friendship between pop-diva Madonna and fashion photographer Steven Meisel began nearly three decades ago and has produced a diverse and compelling catalogue of iconic images and magazine spreads. In this photo Meisel places the sexual duality of Madonna's persona on full display, contrasting her masculine strength with her feminine curves to create an image of pure sexual magnetism.
Betty Tompkins
Betty Tompkins' large-scale photo-realistic depictions of sexual intercourse are unblinkingly confrontational and undeniably engaging. Since 1969, her work has been met with censorship and criticism for its explicit frankness and feminist perspective, and has only recently started to gain the popular attention and critical praise it deserves.
Wolf189, the Photographer
Wolf189 is a wonderful photographer that seductively emulates his concepts through his work. With commercial work under his belt, he is able to dabble in the world of erotica by posing beautiful young women in different settings to portray the exotic and sexual undertones of their being.
