PIN-UP'S & EROTICA

-52-

This deck was printed in China and published there in 2010 by "China 100" as "No 1047" and the edition was - if we interpret the Chinese text correctly- limited to 1000 copies. The deck has English indices and each card has Chinese characters on it too. Probably the name of the artist, but we can't be sure about that. By looking at the cards one can conclude that there were more than one artist involved. Some have a very recognizable style, others are harder to distinguish. The deck is (sub)titled "China body Painting" on the box and although it's clear what is meant when you look at the images, here in the Netherlands this title suggests that there would be paint on the models.

We have been discussing weather this deck should be marked here as a pin-up deck or as an erotic deck. We have chosen for the latter, because the artists don't portray the models, although often a single female figure, in typical pin-up poses, glamorous and provocative, but rather in more natural poses, still and introvert.
