Raw erotica : sex, lust and desire in outsider art

This volume examines rarely seen paintings, drawings and sculptures by outsider and self-taught artists that explore sexual desire and activity. Scholarly contributions analyse these personal expressions of erotica within the context of Art Brut and non-traditional art.

This unique book presents works that until now have only rarely been seen, even in private collections. Paintings, drawings and sculptures by well known outsider artists and new discoveries, all of which express deeply personal interpretations of sexual desire and activity. With texts by the world's leading academic experts in this field, Raw Erotica presents an essential element in the rich and varied world of outsider and self-taught art. (from dj)
