Intellectual Erotica and Classy Smut

I always shake my head in bemusement at those who think we are original in our smut. One only has to read about the Victorians and the origins and popularity and endurance of wildly original smut.

SPANKER’S DELIGHT: THE VINTAGE EROTICA OF CHÉRI HÉROUARD (NSFW)

Chéri Hérouard (1881-1961) was an artist best known for his illustrative work for French magazines like the gentlemen’s’ weekly La Vie Parisienne for which he supplied the cover art for over forty years. His eye-catching illustrations were highly popular and reflected the noteworthy changes in art from Art Nouveau through Art Deco to pioneering the more modern graphic art/comic book style of the 1940s and 1950s. This society weekly featured risque erotica alongside stories and features on art, theater, film, literature, and fashion. It was kind of like Esquire magazine or a classier Playboy without the naked flesh.
