This provocative book, bursting with groundbreaking sensual images, shows how artists and designers from Aubrey Beardsley to Gustav Klimt explored and exploited the idea of the erotic in their creative endeavors. <P>Ghislaine Wood uses a wide range of paintings, sculpture, ceramics, jewelry, photographs, and more-many from the superb collections of London's Victoria & Albert Museum-to illustrate the risqu, often shockingly explicit content of many works from a time of sexual license and decadent extravagance.

She lives in London. <P>80 illustrations, 60 in full color, 73/8 x 81/4 622822 2000 Art Nouveau and the Erotic total:14|5:4|4:6|3:4| 14 56 24 2 4 0 false false Sat Aug 29 11:40:49 -0700 2009 Sat Aug 29 13:09:56 -0700 2009
