I'm doing an academic poster on Erotic Grotesque artists, so who should I be including? It's very hard to find a lot of information on this kind of work, most libraries close by hold almost nothing so I hope this doesn't read as a "not ur personal army/not doing your homework for you," type of post. If you have any resources that would also be very much appreciated, i.e. Art books, websites, videos, etc.
I'm starting it off with Shunga artists like Fukujuso, but if there's earlier work that influenced the genre please let me know! Contemporary artists are great, as well, I'm just not finding much beyond hentai and unnamed pieces from Gurochan.

Like from any time period? A lot of ancient art had sexual aspects, like fertility things. There's old greek vases with paintings of men with giant erections. Some theories on ancient venus figurines from the paleolithic think that there was a fetishistic or sexual side to them.
Some art nouveau stuff was very open about this sort of thing, just look at Von Bayros or some of Aubrey Beardley's stuff (he ha a twisted mind).
For more contemporary things I figure it would be easier to find since a lot of sexual topics are less taboo now, or people like to use them for shock value (Odd Nerdrum, Jenny Saville) or feminist reasons. Porn artists are also a thing now, like Samura's Love of the Brute series. But if you look into history even some big name artists did porn-ish drawings and paintings at times, just they kept it in sketches to themselves mostly.

What the fuck man. Do you have any sense of dignity.
