"Our passions are the principal instruments of our preservation. It is, therefore, an enterprise as vain as it is ridiculous to want to destroy them."
Jean-Jacques Rousseau (1748)

Bons Souvenirs by Zichy





It's always difficult to propose that any one individual is pre-eminent in his or her particular area of expertise, as there are always a number of other claimants who could validly be considered for the premier position.  In the field of erotic art, however, Agent Triple P would venture that you would be hard put to nominate a name to go up against Hungarian artist Mihály Zichy (1827-1906).  A conventional painter and illustrator as well, his erotic pictures demonstrate a sense of movement, brilliant draftsmanship and sexual passion very rarely displayed in other erotic genre works.  

We'll have more of his pictures another day but just wanted to post this splendidly passionate (and athletic!) example as a taster.
