Thru art the most simple things become become gold.
And erotism, sex, depravation are…simply beautifull.

I’m amazed that in my art history classes we never talked about von Bayros. His work is beautiful and fantastic.

@ Molly: Beardsley’s work excels in design and stylization compared to von Bayros, but I agree that Beardsley’s really busy, full scenes don’t have the complexity of the von Bayros drawings. Although, who knows what Beardsley would’ve become if he hadn’t died at age 25?

I love Franz von Bayros! The first time I saw him in a vintage erotica compilation, I thought “wow- it’s Beardsley if Beardsley ever finished art school.” He’s one of my top favorite artists- thanks for blogging him.

Stunning!! I’d seen a couple of pieces of his work before, but never the whole gallery. Love it!

i’ve noticed that when i look thru porn, the ones of the women actually smiling and enjoying themselves turn me on more. the hard-faced, ‘serious’ & attitude ones just put me off. that’s the nature of sex, it’s supposed to be fun & enjoyable. western society’s really fucked up in that regard, labelling anything erotic as “bad” & “dirty”. society as a whole needs to get themselves off a little more.
