Described in a biographical note as a traditional wife and mother who became interested in erotic art, "Miss Naomi" has collected over 1500 objects of erotica represented by 500 or so unambiguously sexually explicit items in Forbidden Art: The World of Erotica. Except for some works from antiquity and from Asia and other non-Western cultures, most of the objects are European and American small-scale sculptures, paintings, and prints from the latter half of the 19th century to the present. Among published erotica collections, this one is quite diverse in terms of media, styles, and quality. This fantasy world of "forbidden art" and erotica is explored in its many wonders. Over 500 color photographs of erotic artworks and artifacts are shown here, and most of them have not been published or exhibited previously. As you turn the pages, unforgettable images of love, passion, and sensuality unfold. Feast your eyes and mind upon sexual delights as you travel randomly, back and forth, through many centuries, countries, cultures, artists, and mediums. The originality and imagination of the artists may expand, ignite, and incite your thoughts and senses. The author "Miss Naomi" is a serious collector of art works and erotica, now living in Florida.
