The Erotic Arts (1975) is an erotic art history book by Peter Webb. It is well referenced and has the typical early seventies "sexual revolution" point of view. On the cover of its original edition is the artwork Princess X[1]. The book also features an interview with Hans Bellmer. The book builds on the work of Eduard Fuchs.
