Erotic art; "the trend is upward..."

I'm not sure how to respond to this thread because I don't want to get banned!

There is some "erotic" art that I like very much but the last time I posted my favorite Paul Outerbridge photo it got pulled. I like some Maplethorpe and I love Mark's photos of the prostitutes in Bombay and I like a lot of the pin-up era Bettie Page type stuff.

Soooo.....

Boomer--

Why not post a link to the photo rather than to the painting itself?

The show is rather tame if you ask me and might have been overlooked by any authorities even in the 60's. It was in the 50's that Kienholz "Back Seat Dodge" got some flack in an L.A. exhibition. It wasn't that long before things started to lighten up and the Supreme Court finally put some kind of loosely written interpretation of what was allowed and what was not allowed -- have to search for the year.

I went to a gallery the other day in Bethnal Green, (London) and all it was was cumming willies.
There was tintin cumming, and superman, and the hulk.
I wonder what Cary Kwok's parents thought when they came and looked at the preview.

There's a not-so-fine line between "erotic," "vulgar," and "wtf?"
