SEXUALITY IN ART
Sexuality has often seemed a kind of avant-garde art.
In our times, particularly sexual re-evaluation and revolution have constantly been linked with their artistic counterparts.
Art which deals with sexual matters is considered 'advanced', provocative and uncompromised by the demands of our society.
Figurative painting has continued to make powerful use of sexual imagery, despite its traditional means.
Here some examples with works signed by Pablo Picasso (1881-1973),  Sylvia Sleigh (1916-2010), Jean Rustin (1928-2013), Delmas Howe (1935-), John Kirby (1949-) and George Dureau(1930-2014), also a photographer.
