The Art Of Arousal /anglais: a celebration of erotic art throughout history - Tapa dura

Sinopsis

A delightful tour through the sensual side of fine art, from America's favorite sex therapist. This irresistible volume presents 130 of the most engagingly erotic paintings, sculptures, prints, and drawings from diverse eras and cultures, coupled with revealing commentaries about their sexual and aesthetic content. In its organisation, The Art of Arousal traces the course of a sensual relationship. It begins by examining the elements of eroticism, and then progresses from flirtation and seduction through kisses and other foreplay before ultimately arriving at consummation and blissful exhaustion. The irrepressible Dr. Ruth explores every element of sexuality in these provocative works of art, including the pleasures of looking, creative fantasising, and the effects on male and female pleasure of the various positions depicted.
All the art in this book has been chosen to meet two essential criteria: everyone portrayed must be having a good time, and each image must satisfy the high aesthetic standards of Dr. Ruth and an art historian friend, who writes with witty scholarship about the artistic aspects of these works. Now available in a revised edition that includes delightful new works by contemporary artists, The Art of Arousal is a stimulating gift for art lovers. AUTHOR: Dr. Ruth K. Westheimer is a beloved and trusted therapist who revolutionized the national dialogue on sex, sexuality, and relationships with her radio program Sexually Speaking, and went on to host numerous television shows and author some forty books. She is the subject of a one-woman show about her life, Dr. Ruth, All the Way, and the Hulu documentary Ask Dr. Ruth. She teaches at Columbia University's Teachers College.
