	Erotic art - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Erotic art covers any artistic work including paintings, sculptures, photographs, music and writings that is intended to evoke erotic arousal or that depicts scenes of love-making.
		A further distinction needs be made between erotic art and pornography, which also depicts scenes of love-making and is intended to evoke erotic arousal, but is by definition not fine art.
		Whether or not an instance of erotic art is obscene depends on the standards of the community in which it is displayed.

	A history of erotica
		In the motion picture sense, soft porn is a similar kind of commercial art form that resides in the area between erotica and hardcore pornography, although erotica, as a type of fine art, may also be highly explicit.
		Erotic fiction is the name given to fiction that deals with sex or sexual themes, generally in a more literary or serious way than the fiction seen in pornographic magazines and sometimes including elements of satire or social criticism.

	Erotic Art of Ancient Rome
		Erotic practices in the early Roman Empire were just as much a way of expressing power as they were an act of leisure.
		Erotic Roman art also served as a reflection of spiritual belief, invoking the life force and powers of fertility.
		It is important to attempt to understand the art of the ancient Romans in its social and spiritual contexts rather than simply dismissing it as pornographic.

	Mind Caviar Features
		Last year, and this, a millennia-old battle is still fought vociferously over erotic art brought to light and to throngs of tourists by that most decadent ancient city, Pompeii.
		Art which celebrated sex and potency became “nasty, dirty, pagan” and symbolic of the persecutions of good, honest, upright Christian folk.
		Censorship by the “established art coterie” is assuredly as injurious as that by any municipal authority or church because, as in this case, it affects not only future artistic commissions but public display of the Art itself, not to mention public perception of what, indeed, is Art.

	Robert Fulford's column about Pompeii's erotic art
		This is the new repository for the erotic art that has created both scandal and delight ever since archeologists of Pompeii began uncovering it in the 18th century.
		She told us that the function of erotic images in the Roman world was to "celebrate reproduction" and that phalluses symbolized abundance.
		In the 19th century, it was said to prove that Pompeii was particularly sinful and that the eruption of Mt. Vesuvius (which brought life to an abrupt end in that city one summer day in AD 79) was the furious message of an outraged deity, in the Sodom and Gomorrah tradition.

		The book also points out the important fact that many of these erotic art ojects were not strictly for brothels but appeared in every day life.
		The penis, for instance, was a good-luck charm that appeared on buildings, erotic images were carved onto ordinary household items, so these things did not hold the controversy for ancient Pompeii that they might for readers of more "modern" sensibilities.

		So much of neo-classical painting was official art, that is art sponsored by first the French Republic, and then by the Emperor Napoleon, that I have included a special section on Images of Napoleon.
		Many of these paintings are not considered "great art," but they form an important addition to the history of art: art in service to political power.
