Gustav Klimt and the puritane issue

Many artists have made erotic drawings like Gustav Klimt, have made erotics drawings, even if they needed to keep them secret for their own safety, A proof of this matter of fact is given also by the discovery of William Turner‘s “black sketches”, that appeared only after his dead. Henry de Tolouse Lautrec is another example of this kind of taboo: he lived his whole life in a brothel, without ever being able to tell his family this truth. For her entire life, his mother believed that he was living a quiet and peaceful life in Paris. Lautrec’s paintings, is good to remember, are still one of the main attractions at the entrance of the Moulin Rouge, the heart of Pigalle’s wonders, in Paris.
