True Decadence
The Erotic Art of Franz Von Bayros
and Leopold von Sacher-Masoch's Venus in Furs
A must have...
True Decadence is really two superb books in one: the inimitable art of Franz, Marquis von Bayros complemented by Venus in Furs, the literary masterpiece of Leopold von Sacher-Masoch.
"Both Sacher-Masoch and Bayros combine the decadent abandonment of the senses to erotic excess with a revelation of the complexity of sexual power. Krafft-Ebing and Freud analysed Sacher-Masoch in their essays on masochism, but his and Bayros' works tell us more about sexual extremes and perversions than we can ever learn from a psychology paper or psychiatrist's couch."
Rebecca Roberts-Hughes
Franz Von Bayros is one of the most mysterious and undocumented artists of the 20th Century and here, for the first time, is a fascinating view of the bizarre sexual anarchy that he created in the sedate and decorous boudoirs of the early 1900s. Powerful females populate his exquisite, beautifully detailed drawings - sexual perversity is rife and the byword is luxurious decadence. With an informative foreword by Rebecca Roberts-Hughes.
- Probably the most elegant edition of Venus in Furs ever to be published
- Two books in one. Excellent illustrations of the notorious von Bayros prints, beautifully reproduced for the first time in over 100 years
- An entertaining 'linking' essay that gives a fascinating insight to the Age of Decadence...
