Hawaii Erotic
Art:
Aloha and welcome
to the Erotic Art Section of My site...
My name Anthony.Calleja
and I am a Honolulu Hawaii-based fine artist
and photographer.
Defining erotic
art is difficult since perceptions of both
what is erotic and what is art fluctuate. A
sculpture of a phallus in some African cultures
may be considered a traditional symbol of potency
though not overtly erotic .Erotic Netsuke made
of mammoth ivory sculptured in Japan.
In addition, a
distinction is often made between erotic art
and pornography (which
also depicts scenes of love-making
and is intended to evoke erotic
arousal, but is not usually considered art). The distinction may lie
in intent and message; erotic art intended
as pieces of art, encapturing formal
elements
of art, and drawing on other historical artworks.
Pornography may
also use these tools, but is primarily intended
to arouse one sexually.
Nevertheless,
these elements of distinction are highly subjective.
