EROTIC ART EXHIBITION 2022: Femme Fatales

The Erotic Art Works of

Over the last 300 years, ideas about female beauty have drastically changed and this has caused many of the most wonderful paintings of the old masters to seem 'ugly' to youthful modern audiences. In the days of Peter Paul Rubens, being forty to sixty pounds over-weight was considered not only attractive, but was a status symbol. Beauty is in the eye of the beholder and tastes have clearly changed...

On the World Wide Web since1996

" Pandora's Box MMV" Featuring Kimber- (oil on canvas) Only Johnson's finest works end up rendered in oil, this one has been rendered in several media, see the Prismacolorcolored pencil version below.

Throughout Art History, the Classical or Greco-Roman school of painting and sculpture is distinguished by the notion that the human form is the ultimate arena for artistic expression. One of the principal attractions of fairy paintings for the Mid-Victorians was that they made possible highly realistic and erotic pictures of unclad females that would have otherwise been inadmissible.

Unlike in modern revisionist folklore, in traditional faerie lore, fairies were quite sexy! Many of them commonly went about proudly unclothed - uncommonly beautiful - mischievous, and scandalously promiscuous!

In the 20th century the sexual revolution eliminated all of these traditional boundaries. Today, uneducated people are overreacting. This exhibit offers many gorgeous and sometimes provocative images of unclad and partially clad beautiful female models by internationally acclaimed illustrator H D Johnson.

World Mythology and folklore are Johnson's greatest sources of inspiration for his Mild Erotic drawings and paintings. See the artist's full essay on sexuality and art below with more free erotic art and essays below...

Photo-realistic 'Prismacolor Paintings' if you will - because this kind of picture is not at all what comes to mind when people hear the word 'drawing'. These new soft oil and wax pencils are not the first Dry Painting Medium: the term 'Pastel Paintings' originated in the 17th century.

Personal Opinion Essays on Realistic Art yesterday and today by the artist.

Essay V

Sexuality, Violence, Morality, and their relationships with the Arts in 21st century American Society

A case for the sacredness, purity, and beauty of the human form

A brief personal opinion essay by the artist

In history, the Classical or Greco-Roman school of art is distinguished by the notion that the human form is the ultimate arena for artistic expression. Unclothed figures were very common in Classical art and their culture was very comfortable with it in general. The Victorians in contrast have always stood out in my mind for their extreme prudishness and puritanicalism. They invented the tablecloth to prevent men from looking at a table's legs because they feared a table leg might make men think of sex. In spite of this, 19th century Victorian Art did allow some unclothed figures in statues and paintings within certain bounds. One of the principal attractions of fairy paintings for the Mid-Victorians was that they made possible highly realistic and erotic pictures of unclad females that would have otherwise been inadmissible. In the 20th century the sexual revolution eliminated all of these traditional boundaries. I can see how the radical transformation of society by the total liberation of the subconscious was a bit too much for most people. In 21st century America however, the sight of a healthy unclad woman is taboo even in the visual arts.

A moral pendulum swinging too far again?

I find this very interesting considering they way American society is so comfortable with children viewing extreme violence and gore on television and in motion pictures. It's terrible- disembowelments, exploding heads with splattering blood and guts, cut off arms and legs are deemed just fine for prime time children's viewing. But not to worry- the profanity has been edited out. It seems too arbitrary to me. If the human body is torn apart or cut to pieces it is all right. Desecration of the human body is embraced or tolerated while appreciation or adoration even in art, is condemned.

The average American child sees 20,000 violent deaths on television alone by the age of 10.

After all the outrageous and horrible events that have happened in America surrounding the turn of the millennium I am amazed that the only real public out cry about anything has come about over a harmless affair in a politician's private life and a stray breast at a national sporting event. I also find it interesting that the religious establishment in America feels that the healthy uncovered female human body is a dirty, filthy thing to be ashamed of. I disagree.

Since the source for this stigma is supposed to be the sacred writings of the Judeo-Christians, I present to you the idea that this is not what these actually teach and will use illustrations. This comes from Jesus' saying: "If a man even look at a woman to lust after her, he has already committed adultery in his heart." By this same standard, just thinking about robbing the poor and the elderly is a sin, but in our society the act is considered "a good business move". Don't misunderstand me, he taught that his commandment was to love one another, and basically that if you did that the ceremonial law was fulfilled. A more positive approach; if you love someone you won't murder them, falsely accuse them, etc., etc., If your heart is full of covetousness for a woman, a car or anything it is likely you will transgress this law in practice. Cheating, stealing, and even murder in actual practice are taken in stride by our society, but seeing a woman's left bosom exposed is an outrage. If the Ten Commandments are the standard we're going by as they say-

What about the other nine?

Children are diligently taught to dishonor their parents on every"family"television show. It is taboo now- yes, it is actually considered wrong to portray a good father in American movies and television with only the rarest of exceptions. What is so terribly wrong about a portrayal of a good dad? To me, this is an outrage. Stealing the retirements of thousands of teachers who have worked hard all their lives is also not deemed a problem. What about "thou shalt not murder"? (Interestingly, it doesn't say” kill"{ harag } in the original Hebrew text, { Exodus 20:13 } but "murder"{ ratsach }. ) In Nazi Germany, six million people- Jews, Christians, and politicals were secretly murdered in the death camps, but in modern America, more than thirty million baby boys and girls have been publicly murdered in abortion clinics and we call that a “choice". Judeo-Christian morality, and that's what we're talking about here only justifies killing in self-defense. With all the different forms of other effective birth control available I find this astonishing that we as a society can be so cold blooded on such a massive scale. Thankfully, it's not my decision to make, being a man; I wouldn't even know where to start. I can conceive of grievous circumstances that make clear an ongoing need for safe and legal abortions. I just don't understand why people choose it so often over less horrific forms of birth control. I only bring this up because of the disparity between the tolerant reactions to these violent, bloody things and the intolerant and even violent reactions to the sight of a peaceful woman’s uncovered bosom celebrated for it's natural beauty through the arts.

I believe that women are the brightest and loveliest of all of GOD's creations. The sight of a healthy young partially uncovered girl on television even for a split second is considered a crisis and we hear public outrage? The human body itself, filthy; Think about it. Since the basis of this sight of a healthy human body taboo is supposed to be of Judeo-Christian religious origin, I want to examine this outrageous doctrine that the human body is filthy. In the Bible's first book, Genesis, it says, "they were naked and were not ashamed" and it teaches us that men and women were "made in the image of GOD". To follow this line of reasoning, GOD would also have to be filthy. Case closed. I don't think what I perceive to be the crowning achievement of GOD's creation, the woman - is filthy, but is instead pure and beautiful.

What I believe to be GOD's greatest creation is considered filthy, and not people's minds?

What's wrong with this picture?

These outrageous boundaries chosen by our society are so poorly thought out that Michaelangelo's statue of David is even deemed pornography and books with such works of art are being removed from our public school libraries. I'm not suggesting that we remove these boundaries again, Heaven forbid! Only that these new ones are ill conceived and badly placed and I would personally prefer to return to the traditional ones and avoid all these extremes.

MANY PIECES OF ORIGINAL ART ON PAPER LIKE THESE ARE AVAILABLE:

Many pieces are currently available, mostly 11x14-13x16 inch Prismacolor Paintings (like Helen of Troy) and pencil portraits (like Arriba #2) followed in number by Acrylic, Prismacolor and pastel mixed media all on #400 Strathmore Bristol Board ranging from $700.00-$1400. 00 USD and Oil Paintings on canvas ranging from $1999.00 - 10,000.00 USD. Pieces that have never been rendered in oil can be commissioned in 16x20 inch size on canvas for 50% down and delivered in under 90 days with signed certificates of authenticity aka legal documents pledging never to render it in that size and media again to ensure premium collectability and investment potential.

David can also do a completely new picture designed in digital media (for more on this visit his digital media page) and when we approve the photo-montage, he uses it as reference to render it in oil on canvas. No surprises. Existing Artwork is shipped very well protected and go out to you immediately via Fed Ex or USPS Express mail upon receipt of payment at our expense. All new creations cost a bit more depending on what is involved. All new creations and rendering photo montages into art on paper are a LOT of fun with e-mail attachments and digital cameras.

ORIGINAL OIL PAINTINGS ON CANVAS LIKE THIS ARE ALSO AVAILABLE:

Almost all of Johnson's Mixed Media creations (above left) displayed in this site are available to be rendered in oil on canvas like the 20x16 oil on canvas Faerie Guardians 2006 (above right). Each design will only be rendered in oil once at this size and can be delivered in as little as 90 days. Sadly, much of the subtlety, vibrance, lustre and impact of an original oil painting is lost when it is scanned and imported to digital media or even printed by a master printer. Nothing can compare to an original oil painting viewed in person in my opinion but the other painting media definitely look good in print and have their charms and distinct advantages as well.
