Erotic Art Embraces The Forbidden
Bob Guccione was a firm believer in the idea that sex and art could come together. He was also a tastemaker, allowing him to always be at the forefront of new trends. So when the kink-positivity movement of the late 80′s and early 90′s began, Guccione, was a trendsetter. He featured artists with fresh perspectives to blur the line between art and sex, allowing Penthouse Magazine to further push the goal of making sex beautiful. Since the beginning of time, or at least the dawn of the daguerreotype, one subject has captivated artists of all mediums and movements alike with its beauty, intrigue, and mystique. It is the female form, and for many, there is nothing more beautiful than a naked woman.
Various models posed nude in order to create art that would stimulate feeling and create an emotion where before there was none. Patricia Barrett, Avril Lund, Brandy Ledford, Billie Deane, and Laura Doone are examples of brave models whose collaboration with Bob Guccione created a balance between sex, fetish and art.
