Folk Erotica

Milton Simpson

Harper Collins, NY. 1994. First edition hardcover. In pristine condition; price tag pasted in top corner of jacket.

This book rules. Simpson best summarizes as such:

"This book is about sex, American's notions of sex and sexuality as depicted and manifested in it's folk art and artifacts.It's about orifices and phalluses. It's about fun. It encompasses works from early Native American cultures....as well as pieces from a puritanical society, where sex was hidden, disguised, and censored, and explores the twentieth century, revealing what has changed and what hasn't."

Awesome, inspiring stuff within here ranging from whaling ship mastheads, to figures of religious significance, graffiti...you name it. The people want their erotica! And they will always use their American Ingenuity to deliver new innovations in the world of depravity. Highly recommended.
