Louis Jou Nude Prints
1881-1968
Louis Jou (1882–1968) became a naturalized French citizen and was known as an artist of the French School. He set up his own publishing house in Paris and gained a reputation as one of the greatest typographers of the 19th century. His original etchings and wood engravings appeared in books authored by Victor Hugo, Andre Gide, Cervantes and many more. Jou’s etchings also appeared in the Gazette des Beaux Arts, published in Paris.
Beginning in 1859 until its final year in 1930, the Gazette des Beaux Arts became known for its role in the revival of etching as a creative process as vital as painting and sculpture. The Gazette regularly commissioned the greatest etchers of the time, including such artists as Whistler, Goya, Max Lieberman, John Sloan, Louis Jou and many more. Today these etchings are greatly sought after as collectibles.

Study for a Monument in the Heroic/Erotic/Academic/Comic Style Claes Oldenburg
By Claes Oldenburg
Located in New York, NY
This sensuous and playful scene is characteristic of Oldenburg’s printmaking ouevre: a veritable heap of women displaying various expressions of ecstasy and repose. The loose sketches were drawn directly onto the plate by the artist, a master draftsman whose erotic etchings are largely unknown. The composition is based on the drawing: Clinical Study, Towards a Heroic-Erotic Monument in the Academic/Comic Style, 1965, ball-point pen on paper, 20 x 40 in. / 60 x 101.6 cm.
*This print was etched in six gorgeous inks, each in an edition of ten: take your pick of color!*
Oldenburg had an interest in imaginary monuments: he famously conceptualized works such as “Ball”, an unbuilt monument conceived of in 1967 which imagined two ballcocks – the round mechanism in a toilet tank...
