~ 1899 - 1967
Doctor Jean Morisot, writing under the pseudonym Jean Sauteval, is widely regarded as a master of ex-erotica, blending a surgeon’s precision with an artist’s flair. His works, numbering over one hundred, exude a distinctive voyeuristic charm and a playful, paillard style. Vibrant and adorned with ribbons, they stand as a vivid celebration of life’s pleasures.
Morisot’s illustrations delve into his most provocative fantasies, often depicting women entangled with an array of perverse figures—shadowy adult men, demons, satyrs, beasts, witches, clowns, and others. These characters, portrayed as agents of forbidden desire, invite women into realms of illicit enjoyment, rendered with a mischievous and unrestrained spirit.
Among his notable contributions, Morisot illustrated the 1930 erotic novel Cydalise, ou, Le péché dans le miroir by Johannes Gros (possibly under the pseudonym T. Mertens), further cementing his legacy in the genre. His extensive work in ex libris art also showcases his unique ability to merge technical skill with uninhibited creativity.
