Tinto Brass (1933), whose long-life career includes 30 films, is the Italian director best known for the soft adult films he shot in the 1970s and 1980s--his most famous being Salon Kitty (1976), The Key (1983) with Stefania Sandrelli, and the notorious Caligula (1979) which film producer Bob Guccioni, founder of Penthouse, took away from Brass and cut himself. This homage to his fascinating career includes his earliest avant-garde films like Who Works is Lost (1963); the western Yankee (1966) and the giallo Deadly Sweet (1967); experimental arthouse films Attraction (1968) and The Howl (1969), including the hard-to-be-seen Dropout (1970) and Vacation (1971) with Franco Nero and Vanessa Redgrave to the decidedly derrière-obsessed fetishism of his later work, including Paprika (1991), All Ladies Do It (1992), The Voyeur (1994), Frivolous Lola (1998), and Cheeky! (2000). The Films of Tinto Brass: From the Avant-Garde to Erotica is a film-by-film guide to one of the most interesting and uncompromising Italian film directors.
Since the dawn of human evolution, artists have explored the sexual act - from primitive markings on cave walls and ancient Grecian ceramics, to the more sophisticated forms of Japanese Shunga or Vātsyāyana's Kama Sutra. With the advent of the photographic camera, coitus was depicted with a realism hitherto unseen. Yet, there exists a common misconception that 'XXX' photography is a post-modern phenomenon. Vintage Hardcore dispels this rumor, in a surprising and sometimes wildly shocking collection of rare vintage sex photos. From the very naughtiest of the 1900s to the super-swingingest of the 1960s, this book is everything your grandparents and great-grandparents tried to keep secret - until now!
Artists have explored the nude image since the beginning of time, through sculpture, ink, and paint on canvas, and celebrated the female form in all its natural beauty. Photography is no stranger to this since its arrival. We hereby present an archive of rare glamour photography from the 1900s until the 1960s.
Christian Death is an American deathrock band formed in Los Angeles County, California, in 1979 by Rozz Williams. Williams was eventually joined by guitarist Rikk Agnew of the band Adolescents, with James McGearty on bass guitar and George Belanger on drums. This lineup was responsible for producing the band's best-known work, their 1982 debut album Only Theatre of Pain, which was highly influential in the development of the style of music known as death rock as well as the American gothic scene. During this time legendary L.A. punk rock photographer Edward Colver befriended the band and shot Christian Death at a dozen of the band's concerts in the Los Angeles area during a six-month period in 1981 and 1982, as well as photographing Rozz at his family home with the band which was later used for the back cover of Only Theatre of Pain, and a session of iconic images at a cemetery in Pomona. Cult Epics founder and friend of Rozz Williams, Nico B edited an oversized (12x12") hardcover book of Ed's photos capturing those rare and never-before-seen moments, as well as the story of early Christian Death as told by Edward Colver, surviving band members and others through new, exclusive interviews.
