Gerald Schoenewolf, a noted New York psychoanalyst, has collected his erotic drawings into one volume and provided an introduction and an ongoing commentary on the drawings. There are 96 drawings, all done in the author's distinctive style, where young women are portrayed with weird, elongated breasts, vaginas with teeth, sitting in trees full of snakes, lying spread-legged with dogs, flouting strange smiles or seductive pouts on their faces. These are whimsical, childlike drawings that are appealing and entertaining while at the same time revealing the author's unconscious cravings, fetishes, angers, aversions and other neurotic sexual inclinations. In his introduction, Schoenewolf boldly analyses the traumas of his childhood and connects them to the symbols in the drawings, defining them as a new kind of psycho-art. These drawings are similar in style (though perhaps not in artistic merit) to the erotic drawings of Picasso. This is a book for psychologists and those interested in psychology as well as people who like art and particularly erotic art. As the author proclaims at the end of his introduction, «Oh well! Let's face it! This book will appeal to everybody!»
