Erotic art encompasses works designed to provoke sexual arousal or to depict intimate, passionate encounters.
Fetish art, by contrast, explores more specific desires and turn-ons, often focusing on particular objects or practices such as high heels, boots, corsets, gloves, shoes, or the broader realms of BDSM, bondage, spanking, cross-dressing, and a wide variety of other kinks that excite and captivate.
Historic spanking art specifically refers to spanking-themed artwork that is more than 100 years old. The earliest known examples date back to ancient high civilizations, appearing in the cultures of Egypt, Greece, Rome, Israel, Persia, and India.
This site is dedicated to celebrating vintage BDSM and fetish artists who created extensive bodies of work, often in the form of illustrated books and portfolios. My goal is to preserve and share knowledge about these creators, ensuring that their remarkable contributions to the history of fetish art are not forgotten.
Over the years, I have built a substantial collection (over 16.000 artworks) that includes many such artists, some with well-documented biographies and detailed information about their works, others known only through their extraordinary creations. I hope this index serves as a valuable guide, helping you discover and explore all the artists featured here. Please be patient when loading some of the artist pages, those packed with huge galleries might take a minute. For art by unidentified artists please check the Illustrated Books, Comics and Magazines gallery.
To ensure the continued existence of this site and the preservation of its content, I have transformed it into a personal virtual museum.
Your subscriptions play an essential role in covering the costs of hosting and the technical infrastructure required to keep the site operational. Contrary to what some may assume, this project generates very little profit. It only covers expenses. That is entirely satisfactory to me.
