Erotic Art of the Masters the 18th, 19th, 20th Centuries Art & Artists (1974) is a illustrated history of erotica by Bradley Smith.
With an introduction by Henry Miller the book is very much a product of the sexual revolution, celebrating the newly gained freedom. A good introduction to erotic art overall. Emphasis is on Western erotic art, but ample attention is given to the East too. Lawrence Gichner, J. M. Lo Duca and Henry Miller served as consultants.
