Artists pursue eroticism as they pursue beauty. It may sell but if their goal is genuinely to transmit what they apprehend as almost ethereal in its beguiling sensuality, then the work's monetary value must remain a secondary consideration to them. Obviously human beauty can have both aesthetic and sensually enticing dimensions but the purpose of artistically creating such beauty is to express something revelatory, something that allows us to see and experience what - in everyday reality - is all too rare.
