Pornographic Art and the Aesthetics of Pornography (2013) is a book edited by Hans Maes.
On the cover is the 'fresh' image of Purple Hyacinth, fresh state/desiccated state by Michael Petry.
The introduction cites -- contra Kant's désinteressement -- Nietzsche's On the Genealogy of Morality:
- "When, forsooth, our aesthetes never get tired of throwing into the scales in Kant's favour the fact that under the magic of beauty men can look at even naked female statues "without interest," we can certainly laugh a little at their expense:—in regard to this ticklish point the experiences of artists are more "interesting," and at any rate Pygmalion was not necessarily an "unaesthetic man."
