An arousing selection of extremely sensuous and explicit artwork and photographs, combined with passionate prose and poetry. Divided into themed chapters that follow the course of a love affair, each section is introduced by a brief essay, followed by powerful images with extended captions about the works and the artists, together with literary quotes from great writers on love and sex.

5.0 out of 5 stars
Another delight for Art Lovers,
By Grady Harp (Los Angeles, CA United States) - See all my reviews (HALL OF FAME REVIEWER) (VINE VOICE) (TOP 50 REVIEWER) (REAL NAME)
Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)
This review is from: Sex: Portraits of Passion (Hardcover)
SEX: Portraits of Passion may entice novice fine art book buyers and maybe even curious voyeurs, and that will add to the audience for this thoughtful overview of figurative art throughout the centuries. Perhaps the title and chapter content of the written word will afford a bridge for readers who may not be art lovers, but these days such introductions are always welcome to build appreciation for art history and contemporary art. Generously and beautifully illustrated with paintings, sculpture and photography this little tome is a banquet for discovering new artists among the Old Masters. In the wake of the Brooklyn Museum press, this rich survey enjoys itself, provides beauty, and teases our senses in a way that is healthy, fun, and informative. A natural gift for friends and lovers!

Tame and Tasteful, NOT Tripple X,
By A Customer
This review is from: Sex: Portraits of Passion (Hardcover)
This book is just right for those who want a tame and romantic bedside book. The majority of the work is fully clothed couples walking, talking, hugging, or kissing. If you are looking for something very explicit look elsewhere. Only a very small minority of the art work actually show genitalia and there are only two pieces depicting oral sex.

2.0 out of 5 stars
Not much to expect,
By Kristina Steinbüchel (Izmir Turkey) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Sex: Portraits of Passion (Hardcover)
Draws the attention of every person that comes to my house...But it's a ''turn page book'' with nothing much to give. I had expected much more art filled passionate photographs, but didn't like it. Looked at it only maybe twice. Well it's a matter of taste I guess.
