Thanks for these.

Do you have the missing months? (And have you by any chance missed out one, and repeated two of the same images in your upload?)

Sorry no--July August and September never made it onto the web.

I'm a bit sceptical about whether it is Beauvais is behind the calendar featured a while back, but he is certainly in the same ballpark.


No more calendars (how did they get by in 1906 and 1907?) but here is another sequence of nine postcards in a similar style, which I have seen referred to as Giochi d'amore or Joie d'hiver. A tenth cannot be posted here.

This has to be by some way the oddest thing I've found



Is it perhaps the work of the mighty Robert McGinnis?



Or just what these two got up to later?

Can someone ID the illustrator or source? The style looks similar to others I have seen but this is the only image I can find at the moment.



thanks,

I think you posted the same question on this thread in 2011; mac1 answered you then-- the answer is still "Marcus Gray". Search this thread for more examples of his work-- and the response to your own long ago question!

Earlier in this thread, I've posted erotic drawing by Italian director Federico Fellini and Russian director Sergei Eisenstein. I've just discovered drawings by the French director, Jean Cocteau . . . I didn't know that he was gay, the drawings make that pretty clear.

Could be attributed to Hungarian born artist Nicolas Sternberg (1901- c.60).

I like this 19th century artist-- he's definitely on the dirtier side, which is nice. He's a skillful artist, but even though his work isn't too explicit, it is sexual.

Rops was born in Namur, the only son of Sophie Maubile and Nicholas Rops, who was a textile manufacturer. After his first artistic training at a local academy, he relocated to Brussels at the age of twenty and briefly attended the University of Brussels. He subsequently attended the Académie de Saint-Luc and began creating satirical lithographs which were published in the student magazine Le Crocodile. These and the lithographs he contributed until 1862 to the magazine Uylenspiegel brought him early fame as a caricaturist.

In 1857, he married Charlotte Polet de Faveaux, with whom he had two children, Paul and Juliette (the latter died at a young age). He produced a number of etchings as illustrations for books by Charles de Coster. In 1862 he went to Paris where he met the etchers Félix Bracquemond and Jules Ferdinand Jacquemart. His activity as a lithographer ceased about 1865, and he became a restless experimenter with etching techniques.

Like the works of the authors whose poetry he illustrated, his work tends to mingle sex, death, and irreligious images. According to Edith Hoffmann, the "erotic or frankly pornographic" nature of much of Rops's work "is at least partly due to the attraction these subjects had for a provincial artist who never forgot his first impressions of Paris". Europe's first talking film The Blue Angel was largely inspired by a figure by Rops that impressed director Josef von Sternberg.

Rops often combined soft-ground etching—a technique practiced by few artists of his day—with mezzotint or aquatint and sometimes added hand-coloring to his plates. His etchings were popular and influenced many younger artists, including Symbolists such as Edvard Munch and Max Klinger

I don't think these are dupes
