Filled with high-quality colour and black and white images taken by the leading names in photography, this celebration of the female form is a best-seller. The popularity of erotic photography since the invention of the camera is undeniable and this book is an excellent guide to the techniques and fashions in erotic photography since the mid-19th century. Focussing on the greatest photographers in this field, Erotique is an indispensable reference work for the informed or the lay audience. The arena of erotic photography is a popular and controversial one and in recent years its demand and the surrounding furore have increased dramatically. That it should still induce moral outrage in such liberal days as these is proof that the naked form, a subject for artists for 2000 years, confounds people and poses more questions than answers. Erotique celebrates the beauty of the naked female form with a collection of the most exciting and significant photographs in this field.
