I think the quality of the line in some illustration of this period is certainly erotic, those sinuous Art Nouveau curves. Charles Robinson was a good exponent of that and I’ll be doing a post about his work shortly.

I wanted to comment about the illustration in this post. I’m not sure I should without more thought and self-analysis, which would likely generate a long post of my, but I also didn’t want the fleeting thought to perish either. So this is like a place holder (and bookmarked too!) So…

Does anyone else find such illustrative style, and in fact most illustration in fairy tales etc., very erotic? I mean it’s not sexual, and the stories aren’t (necessarily) so either, but something in the epic nature, the good v. evil, combined with the fantastic puts me in such a frame of mind…

Of course, it call could just be me.

I’m used to that.
