This
book is a masterpiece! It might be the best book of
vintage erotica ever published!
Collector and dealer, Alexandre Dupouy, has been a
lifelong student of archeology and photography. And he's
melded these two interests into a single-minded and
scholarly pursuit of amassing the erotic works of all
the early photography masters. His archive is an
astonishing omnibus of rare and unique erotic photos and
this new book is a breathtaking glimpse into that almost
forgotten world. Erotic Art Photography is packed
from cover to cover with full-page images showcasing the
work, most of which is unique to this book, of numerous
photographers including Pierre Lou˙s, Guglielmo
Plüschow, Vincenzo Galdi, Constan, Henri Oltramare,
José-Maria Canellas, François Bertin, André
Dignimont, Grundworth, Michel Simon, Albert Wyndham, Yva
Richard, and dozens of others.
It's important to stress that this is not just another
presentation of the same images featured in so many
other books of vintage erotica - most are rare pieces
never before published in book form. It's a spectacular
ride. And the production quality is almost up to par
with the immaculate contents. It's a huge, superbly
crafted book, 12x11" in size, and 256 pages.
The history and insights provided by Dupouy in the
preface as well as in each of the six sections of the
book is not only an erudite and informative study, it is
also an obvious conduit for Dupouy's love for the
medium. These photos are a precious treasure to him and
he shares not only his knowledge here, but his love and
enthusiasm as well.
