Synopsis

"Voyeurs are not hard to please. They want to look upon sex, sex parts, the settings of sex. They like their sex hot, cold, sweet, sour. They want it at night and in broad daylight, mysterious and seedy, sun-dappled and wholesome. Fundamentally, they want their pleasures snatched from the vine like stolen fruit. They want in another words to recapture the dizzying shock of sex in those early days when it was still new and dangerous and scary."--Luc Sante

Throughout the history of the medium, the greatest photographers have also been voyeurs. Gathered in this beautiful volume are 119 of the most suggestive stolen glances ever captured on film. A tour of the erotic world of looking, featuring artist such as:
