Hidden Sex: Art and Shame

Cache-sexes : un jeu d'artiste

Also known as Cubre-sexos: arte y verguënza, Listki figowe: wstyd a sztuka, Das versteckte Geschlecht: Kunst und Scham, Das versteckte Geschlecht - Kunst und Scham

The representation of genitalia in the fine arts was censored for centuries: sexual organs were discreetly hidden among fig leaves, pearls or sheets; and it is still a taboo today. From Antiquity to the present day, the history of puritanism applied to art and the tricks used by artists to circumvent censorship.
