Alan Moore is a an imaginative and clever writer, but as he ages and his work suffers both from excesses and shortcomings, the last thing I want to read is his nonfiction essays on controversial topics. So, I approached this essay on the history, function, and hopefully bright future of pornography and erotica with low expectations. And I was pleasantly surprised—it's very readable stuff. His history, psychology, and sociology are all more fiction than non, but he maintains an approachable tone, so this reads more like a general argument than a deeply researched study. His ultimate point is rather sweet: that what's missing between the boob-banning strictness of religious antisexuality and the joyless, abusive churn of the porn industry is sex as a topic of good art. Moore doesn't give any specific examples of how to move in this direction, but I suppose he feels that he has already contributed most of what he can on this subject in his 'Lost Girls'. That book is at times overwhelming, but it generally does what Moore says pornography should ideally do. ( ) aucune critique | ajouter une critique
With each new technological advance, pornography has proliferated and degraded in quality. Today, porn is everywhere, but where is it art? 25,000 Years of Erotic Freedom surveys the history of pornography and argues that the success and vibrancy of a society relates to its permissiveness in sexual matters.This history of erotic art brings together some of the most provocative illustrations ever published, showcasing the evolution of pornography over diverse cultures from prehistoric to modern times. Beginning with the Venus of Willendorf, created between 24,000-22,000 bce, and book-ended by contemporary photography, it also contains a timeline covering major erotic works in several cultures. 25,000 Years of Erotic Freedom ably captures the ancient and insuppressible creative drive of the sexual spirit, making this book a treatise on erotic art.
