Erotica in art – subjects from Soviet life…

Gennadiy Semakov. Nude inside, 1960-80.

I can’t repost it, but I was going to post Chinese erotica on china.

[Note: the ceramic material, not the country]

[…] Gennadiy Semakov is 84, he is the oldest artist in Archangelsk. During the Soviet era, he painted the subjects he was allowed to, working women:

Pictures of Nenets life:

When it became possible, he started to paint nude and erotic paintings. There is a lot that is identifiable from the 60s, 70s and 80s in the pictures: furniture, crockery, wallpaper – all little details. Despite his age, he continues to paint that sort of subject and exhibit his work across the motherland.

It’s funny that the men in the pictures look like the General Secretaries of the Communist Party in their youth. In the first, the hero looks like a young Gorbachev, the 8th, a young Stalin, the 9th, Brezhnev)))
