5.0 out of 5 stars Amazing!, December 5, 1998

By A Customer

This review is from: Erotique: Masterpieces of Erotic Photography (Paperback)

For only $22 you get an extensive collection of female erotic photos starting from the beginnings of photography (mostly anonymous classics), continueing into the middle of this century (Man Ray, etc.) and ending with modern photographers (Bob Carlos Clarke, etc.). Some photos are very subtle, some are explicit, and some are downright disturbing. The book provides a complete view on the history of the erotic photography and it's connection to the general cultural trends.

5.0 out of 5 stars Beautiful, arousing art!, December 24, 1999

By A Customer

This review is from: Erotique: Masterpieces of Erotic Photography (Paperback)

Wow! I bought this book as a Christmas present for my husband - I haven't given it to him yet, but I love it. Beautiful photos, arousing photos, artistic photos... This is a wonderful book of art. I am in absolute awe of the beauty of the female form, and the quality of photography in the book!

3.0 out of 5 stars Disappointing content, nice pics, August 6, 2000

By	Andrew A. "marstano" (Oceanside, CA USA) - See all my reviews

Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)

This review is from: Erotique: Masterpieces of Erotic Photography (Paperback)

Okay. It's a book with naked women. Some of the pictures are nicely arranged, but most are just the usual vanilla pornography -- and I still don't quite get why it is that the bondage theme is so universally considered erotic. Seems like fully 25% of the pics in this book are devoted to bondage or lesbian bondage. I'd much rather just see nice bodies in interesting poses. [...]
