~ 1901 - 1968
Alexander Sandor Szekely was a very well-known graphic artist who worked in Budapest, Vienna and Paris between 1920 and 1940. This arstist was well known for making erotic drawings, some of which made lots of money at auctions. He also illustrated Hans Christian Andersen's fairy tales in the 1960s.
During his stay in Vienna, he attempted to build a career as a cartoonist. He worked for cabarets like 'Der Liebe Augustin (1934) and l'ABC. These were directed by Hans Margulies between 1934 and 1937.
Between 1939 and 1964, some erotic portfolios appeared "under the counter." These came with original drawings in ink, charcoal or watercolor. They were sometimes captioned in German. He sometimes signed AS or Al. He illustrated texts by Ovid, François Villon, Paul Verlaine, Poe, etc., and produced many scenes of brothel and orgies.
But he also made some unique bdsm artworks at the beginning of his career.
