Nauman’s art is predicated on the notion that an artwork does not always need to be an object, but may be an action or activity, performed either by the artist or by the audience. In this, his work relates to and furthers that of the influential French artist Marcel Duchamp who questioned the meaning of art and introduced the notion of the “readymade”: an artwork created from a pre-existing object, such
as his Pornography shows situations of sexual intercourse and is designed to elicit sensual pleasure but it is not commonly regarded as erotic fine art. Some distinguish between sexuality in art and pornography based on the erotic artists’ objective and statement: Erotic paintings would be works designed for purposes other than just purely sexual pleasure that may be admired as art by someone disinterested in its sensual component. Erotic boudoir photography takes the traditional boudoir photography session up a notch. I love to help empower women by guiding them through exploring their sensuality.

Many such editions would have been suppressed during moralizing purges, among them the infamousThe 1960s and 1970s saw a significant social and political transformation in Europe and America. The battle for women’s equality, with an emphasis on sensuality, woman’s choice, the household, and the workplace, was among the movements. Painters and scholars began to look into how imagery in Western art and media were frequently constructed within a male storyline, and how this maintained idealizations of the female figure. The questioning and examination of the dominant male perspective within the art history narrative, reflected in both critique and creative practice, came to characterize much of the art and erotic artists of the 20th century. Later, more contemporary painters followed in the footsteps of Millet, Picasso, Edgar Degas, and Egon Schiele. The Sumerian Early Dynastic Period glyptic art typically depicts depictions of frontal intercourse in the missionary position. In early second century BC Mesopotamian votive plaques, the male is generally represented penetrating the female from behind as she leans over, sipping beer with a straw. Middle Assyrian-led votive statues frequently depict a man standing and entering a lady who is resting on top of an altar. Humans have turned sexuality into erotic art, worship, and daily life from the dawn of civilization. There have been civilizations and eras where explicit sexual allusions were more acceptable by cultural norms, and times when they were not. Yet, the Church’s oppressive perspective of sensuality in the Middle Ages, followed by the suppressed sexuality of the Victorian age, has led many in the Western world to believe that few, if any, people in the past were ready and able to embrace and even delight in their sexuality. Here are a few artworks that made a statement in their time. The meaning of these sexual sculptures is debated, and suggestions have ranged from their being educational images providing instruction on contraception, to examples of Moche moralizing or humor, to the portrayal of ceremonial and religious rites. They are mostly without archaeological context, but recent systematic archaeological excavation suggests that they were elite grave gifts.

Photographic illustration of Sapho by Jane de la Vaudère, 1908; Jane de La Vaudère, Public domain, via Wikimedia CommonsThis image was intended to stun. It was painted in 1920 by the avant-garde German artist Otto Dix, and it represents a turning point in the artist’s career as he began to renounce the eccentricity of Cubism and Dadaism in favor of a harsh Critical Realism. The picture portrays a crimson-faced commander, saturated with red wine, touching a plump, nude prostitute’s huge breast. The scenario is replicated from every aspect by the several mirrors, such that the woman’s coarsely drawn genitalia can be seen reflected on the brothel ground, while her bottom frames the picture on the sides of the image.
