At that moment, exactly like the gentleman from Japan, Kokoschka was finally cured of his dangerous obsession. Arp pointed the way here for the rich offspring of erotic work to be found in non-representational works. Such painterly elements as curves, rondures and swells, even when they work as completely abstract, can of course be charged with erotic significance. The sculptor Henry Moore once remarked that what interested him most about the mountains was their grottoes. Neret is clearly on firm ground when he discusses art in general and erotic art in specific.
Sadomasochists often treasure leather, and find it propitious to celebrate their rituals in groups.
Clad in leather, with an arsenal of torture equipment at hand, they play master and slave, discovering a means to destroy the monotony of the everyday in their mutual intoxication with military paraphernalia and such leather items as boots and belts. And once they have suitably regenerated, they go out, climb onto their motorcycles and roar off. Hercules, Achilles, Lancelot, Marlon Brando, Rambo and Mad Max are their favorite heroes, their idols. I was kind of amazed this got through editing intact. Salvador Dali appears quite a few times, as does Robert Mapplethorpe, Hans Bellmer, Pablo Picasso, and Andy Warhol.
