EXOTIQUE, 1998 Tachen, Set of 3, Hardback Fetish Magazine Collection

  

The EXOTIQUE 1998 Tachen set of 3 hardback fetish magazine collection is a sought-after addition. Leonard Burtman, the hand and lens behind this classic American "digest of the unusual and bizarre".

He devoted the most of his life to images of sexual fantasy. His conversion coincided in with the growing liberation of US cities as they rebelled against Eisenhower to embrace a night-life of decadence, sensuality, and physical abandon. Exotique presented the pin-up as a Femme Fatale, publishing shot after shot of the dominatrix adorned with tight corset, razor heels, complex underwear and an expression on her face that demanded obedience. Enthusiastically casting from a roster of willing models (including the legendary Betty Page) as well as call-girls and dancers, Burtman experimented with bondage scenarios and group poses, and as a bonus hired in the maestros of the illustrative arts like Eric Stanton to bring his pneumatic ideal to life even more extravagantly. This colossal collection contains all this and more.
