Martin van Maële 1863-1926 [Maurice Martin]
Interest character, you see his work reproduced a lot, sometimes signed, sometimes not. He's of roughly the same period as Felicien Rops, who I posted above, and has somewhat similar subject matter. There's a lot of "satanist" and folkloric sexuality-- a very clever Leda and the Swan, and damsels ravished by satyrs. And some BDSM content as well, notably in illustrations for La Comtesse au fouet. Both he and Rops seem very much influenced by Gustave Dore (who does a small amount of erotica, which I'll get to in another post)
A bibliographical guide to Maele/Martin's output summarizes Quote:

Mel Ramos [1935-2018]
Mel Ramos was kinda the pinup Andy Warhol. Recently deceased, his canvases sell for astonishing amounts of money, $500K is not at all unusual. Its hard to know whether to call his work "erotic". His women were always beautiful, and mostly nude, but I'm not really sure what to think of them. They're not "dirty pictures" . . . I get the idea that "a day at the office" for Mel Ramos was fun.
He's the Beach Boys to Andy Warhol's Lou Reed. No angst, no sexual ambiguity, just hot girls, mostly beach blondes, with big tits and a Coke. From his obit: Quote:

Otto Rudolf Schatz [1900-1961]
Austrian artist -- doesn't have an international reputation, but to my eye very talented. He did a series of erotic watercolors that are violent and vigorous, people fucking and whipping with abandon. He traveled to the United States in 1937, and his work has a mixture of styles -- sometimes resemble the watercolors of other Austrian artists, but it looks like American artists made an impression on him too.
If you wanted to collect little known 20th century erotic art with some claim to quality, Schatz would be a good bet. Dealers and auction houses in Vienna have his work, but its not expensive (as art goes) I apologize -- there are a few duplicates in there. Its hard to find any good reproductions of his work . . .

Konstantin Razumov [1974 - ]
Russian "neo-impressionist" painter. Technically OK, I guess I can get into the pretty girls, but mostly these paintings seem uninspired to me. His paintings have been posted on this thread a few times before, always mixed in with jumbles of other stuff; I thought I'd put a representative sample into one post, just 'cuz I've got the organizing impulse going on.
The paintings are very old fashioned-- pastel harem pinups, basically. He trained as a student of Ilyá Glazunov, a better painter from an earlier generation-- but I've never seen any cheesecake from Glazunov. Reminds me a bit of the French painter Domergue, but not as much life to the women . . . Last edited by deepsepia; February 26th, 2019 at 09:40 PM.. |

Alessandro Biffignandi [1935-2017]
Italian comic illustrator, and especially cover artist-- responsible for many of the lurid fumetti sex and horror covers. Kelio had a great post several years ago of this terrific illustrator
http://vintage-erotica-forum.com/sho...&postcount=179 Since that time, Biffignandi passed away, and there's been a big book about his work published: Sex And Horror - The Art of Alessandro Biffignandi, as the blurb says: Quote:

Loic Dubigeon [1934-2001]
Dubigeon is fascinating guy. We've already got a number of posts from mac1 and others on this thread which demonstrate Dubigeon's remarkable facility with photorealistic pencil renderings of hardcore sex and BDSM
Dupigeon trained as an architect, and uses his real name for his work-- in an interview he says that he never was embarrassed about what he did, a nice sentiment. One art dealer's website says that he had a brief career as a race car driver. There's an in interview with him here, for those who can read French: Now here's where it gets curious: Dubigeon was also one of the most successful designers of scarfs for Hermès-- the super expensive French boutique favored by the likes of Catherine Deneuve, Grace Kelly and rich men's mistresses everywhere. A blog devoted to these scarves -- apparently much collected-- notes of Dubigeon Quote:

The puzzle of "Fameni Leporini"
This is a bit of a mystery. Kelio posted a bit of his work, almost ten years ago on this thread
http://vintage-erotica-forum.com/sho...&postcount=129 You'll see Fameni [aka "Leporini", neither are his real name] with a birthdate of 1888, I have no idea where that comes from, but he's plainly working in the early to mid 20th century. One peculiarity of date, his women often are hairless-- that's a contemporary thing, last 20-30 years maybe, not common before. His work has a variety of styles . . . about the only really consistent thing is that you see themes of psychological humiliation that remind me a bit of Joseph Farrel. Not the same artist, but occasionally working in the same vein-- group scenes. I'd really like to know more about who this guy was, but searching various blogs and resources devoted to erotica, I come up with next to nothing. I can't even figure out how folks come up with a year of birth . . . Last edited by deepsepia; March 1st, 2019 at 02:42 PM.. |

Marcus Gray
As noted above, the artist is Marcus Gray. An image search with that name will find lots more. He's a working commercial 2D and 3D artist doing new media and games and has an active social media presence as "Marcus Gray Art". He's a bit of a pastiche artist, his style is a mix of Marquis magazine, Olivia de Berardinis and Sorayama, most often, but he's pretty versatile and can mimic a lot of different styles.
much more can be found on his FB page ("Marcus Gray Art") and his Deviant Art page ("Shed 2602" -- someone else had the name Marcus Gray there, apparently). A lot of the work is just Photoshop "painted" versions of photographs, though he does do original work. You can often recognize the models that he's using-- here's his Aria Giovanni, for example. . . really just a modified photograph Last edited by deepsepia; March 3rd, 2019 at 01:14 PM.. |
