Erotic forms within Harry Carmean's paintings



Harry Carmean would sometimes incorporate forms in his artwork that suggested sexual organs, both male and female. For example in the painting above, an abstracted vagina can be seen in the painting in the background. By doing this Carmean would subliminally make the painting more sexy without being too overt about it. Lorser Feitelson, with whom Carmean studied for many years did this too, and in some of his most important works although many people have yet to realize it! But if you start to look, the hidden forms will become apparent.
