Westheimer’s The Art of Arousal presents erotic art through a curated progression of an intimate relationship, moving from first glance to postcoital bliss. The preface explains an approach grounded in art history yet guided by the selection of images showing mutual pleasure, deliberately excluding rape scenes common in much art history. Illustrations are chosen collaboratively and presented as multicultural, multisexual, with a preference for figurative and refined works to make sexuality accessible while reflecting major human narratives.","'e  \n①  \nDR.RUTH WESTHEIMERABBEVILLE PRESS·PUBLISHERSNew York◆ London◆ ParisThomas J.Bata LibraryTRENT UNIVERSITYPETERBOROUGH,ONTARIO  \n。  \nFRONT COVER:Detail of Antonio Correggio,Jupiter and Io,c.1532.See page 123.  \nBACK cOVER:Detail of Roy Lichtenstein,We Rose up Slowly,1964.See page 94.FRONTISPIECE:Detail of Titian,Venus of Urbino,1538.See page 12.EDITOR:Nancy GrubbDESIGNER:Patricia FabricantPRODUCTION EDITOR:Sarah Key  \nPiCTURE EDITORS:Anne Manning,Lori Hogan,and Margot Clark-JunkinsPRODUCTION MANAGER:Matthew Pimm  \nCopyright ◎1993 Ruth K.Westheimer.Compilation copyright ◎1993 Abbeville Press.All rightsreserved under international copyright conventions.No part of this book may be reproduced orutilized in any form or by any means,electronic or mechanical,including photocopying,recording,or by any information storage and retrieval system,without permission in writing from the publish-er.Inquiries should be addressed to Abbeville Publishing Group,488 Madison Avenue,NewYork,N.Y.10022.Printed and bound in Hong Kong.  \nFirst edition  \nLibrary of Congress Cataloging-in-Publication Data  \nWestheimer,Ruth K.(Ruth Karola),1928-The art of arousal /Ruth Westheimer.  \nP.cm.  \nIncludes index.  \nISBN1-55859-330-6  \n1.Erotic art.2.Feminine beauty(Aesthetics)  \nI.Title.  \nN8217.E6W471993  \n704.9'428-dc20  \n92-25989  \n  onlenls C  \nPREFACE 6  \nELEMENTS OF EROTICISM。9  \nTHE PLEASURES OF LoOKING  45  \nFLIRTATION AND SEDUCTION ·63  \nKISSES AND OTHER FoREPLAY 。81THE EMBRACE 107  \nSOLITARY AND GROUP PLEASURES.141  \nBLISSFUL EXHAUSTION ·165  \nACKNOWLEDGMENTS 174  \nINDEX 。175  \n# Prefuce\n\noing this book has proven to me that it is never toolate to start off in a brand new direction.Just one yearago I would never have believed that I could walk into amuseum and pick out pictures that are not only sexuallyarousing but that retell the great stories of mankind.Now I almostlive in museums!  \nWhen I first started working on this book,I didn’t know anythingabout art,and that's why I've written it in partnership with a seriousart historian who's a very good friend of mine.He had photocopiesmade of stacks and stacks of images,and then we spent days gigglingand choosing the illustrations for the book.Right at the beginning wedecided that we'd only use pictures in which everyone was having agood time—that left out all the rape scenes that art history is filledwith.And then we decided that rather than organizing the book bydate or by culture or by some other traditional structure,we'd use theimages to illustrate the progression of an erotic relationship,from thefirst glance to postcoital bliss.To the best of our ability we've tried tomake it multicultural and multisexual,with something for everyone,though we've tended to favor the figurative over the abstract and therefined over the raw.  \nArt history has been notoriously skittish about dealing with thesexuality of the art it studies,and the current fuss over censorship is","cbCaij03LXaWzoPN","https://ap.wps.com/l/cbCaij03LXaWzoPN","pdf",22166544,3,1,188,"English","en",105,"# Preface\n# Elements of Eroticism\n# The Pleasures of Looking\n# Flirtation and Seduction\n# Kisses and Other Foreplay\n# The Embrace\n# Solitary and Group Pleasures\n# Blissful Exhaustion\n# Acknowledgments\n# Index","[{\"question\":\"How does the book structure erotic content according to the preface?\",\"answer\":\"It uses images to show the progression of an erotic relationship, from the first glance to postcoital bliss.\"},{\"question\":\"What kind of images does the author say the book avoids?\",\"answer\":\"The selection excludes rape scenes, aiming instead for pictures where everyone is having a good time.\"},{\"question\":\"What balance does the author aim for regarding cultural and sexual diversity?\",\"answer\":\"The book tries to be multicultural and multisexual, with content intended to offer something for everyone while favoring figurative and refined works.\"}]","The Art of Arousal -
