TOM POULTON SECRET ART OF AN ENGLISH GEN
Author(s): HANSON DIAN
Thomas Leycester Poulton was an English magazine and medical book illustrator, born in 1897. Upon his death in 1963, it was discovered he was also a prolific and imaginative erotic artist who produced hundreds of sketches and finished drawings of women proudly and exuberantly displaying themselves in ways shocking to conservative post-war Britain. The archive remained hidden until the 1990s, when a collector of erotic artifacts passed it on to a fellow collector willing to share it with the world. Though Tom Poulton's work tells us much about English society between 1948 and 1963, there is a universal quality to these images of joyous, uninhibited sexuality that transcends time and place.
