Erotic Photography: summary, description and annotation

We offer to read an annotation, description, summary or preface (depends on what the author of the book "Erotic Photography" wrote himself). If you haven't found the necessary information about the book — write in the comments, we will try to find it.

Erotic photo art has lost much of its exquisite soul since Playboy and other girlie monthlies repackaged the human body for mass-market consumption. Like much painting, sculpture and engraving, since its beginning photography has also been at the service of eroticism. This collection presents erotic photographs from the beginning of photography until the years just before World War II. It explores the evolution of the genre and its origins in France, and its journey from public distrust to the large audience it enjoys today.

Eroticism lies in the possibility of a movement. It belongs to the realm of the dream.

History of Erotic Photography

1850-1860

The daguerre otypes available were intended for a wealthy clientele. Afterwards, different photographic procedures, especially on paper, enabled the duplication of images.

1861-1913

Imperial and republican censorship obliged photographers to work in an academic atmosphere, hypocritically aimed at helping the traditional fine arts of painting and sculpture, or in total anonymity, indulging in sheer abandon when intended for lovers of pornography. This anonymity was unavoidable in order to escape the wrath of justice and the discomfort of prisons, but was profitable when it came to illustrating the most shocking subjects.

1914-1918

With postcards, nude photography became a common sight. Hundreds of thousands of these little cards depicted the comforting image of a desirable woman on the front with the tacit approval of the authorities.

1919-1939

With the war over, women, having suffered a number of difficulties and sorrows in remaining at home by themselves, became emancipated. They discovered, among other things, that they were fully capable of doing a mans job. Their attitudes changed. For the photographer, they no longer posed in an academic manner in order to serve as models for hypothetical artists. They were free and this feeling showed in their images.

Introduction

The aim of this History of Erotic Photography is to present previously unpublished images, taking care to avoid those well known images taken by famous photographers which have already been the subject of monographs or numerous publications. The selection made here has no encyclopaedic value, and is based on entirely suggestive criteria.

It is neither about presenting an exhaustive inventory, nor a specific objective. Choosing images is, above all, an expression of ones own personal tastes - ones infatuation for those women of old-fashioned charms, who, thanks to the wonder of the photographic miracle, have been preserved from the ravages of age and time.

It should be pointed out that the first decades of erotic photography were essentially French.

The main reason for this is that photography was first developed in France, where research into new procedures of iconographic reproduction began in the 18 th century. In the 19 th century, liberalism was more widespread in France than elsewhere. Licentious French images were imported into Italy, Spain, the United States, Germany and Great Britain, as production in these countries was limited, due to the fact that these works were more severely repressed.

As far as the first century of the history of photography is concerned (1839-1939), all the international collections - both old and contemporary - comprise mainly French images. When the English authors Graham Ovenden and Peter Mendes entitled their work Victorian Erotic Photography , it was, in fact, largely made up of works of Parisian origin from Belloc, Braquehais, Durieu, Vallou and Villeneuve.

When the American Richard Merkin, professor at the Rhode Island School of Design, presented his collection in the work entitled Velvet Eden , the majority of the images were French. The first American images that he selected date from 1920, the first German ones from 1930, and together they only represent a tiny fraction of the total number.

One of the leading reference works in the field of erotic photography Die Erotik in der Photographie (three volumes published by half a dozen eminent doctors in Vienna in 1931) brings together the best of the German collections of the period and includes several hundred reproductions, the minority being German and Austrian, whereas the French production accounts for the majority of the period preceding the First World War.
