This is the blog of a woman artist exploring the representation of one of the most persistent of human obsession, the pussy.

Manuela's manual is an illustrated instruction manual explaining in details how to make a realistic, life size and very sensuous plaster sculpture of a vulva; a fun, easy and sexy art project for playful couples.

Manuela's manual cover image...

To illustrate the front cover of Manuela's manual I have chosen a oil painting by a 19th century french artist called Gustave Courbet.





At the time, such a graphically explicit image (a close-up view of the genitals and belly of a nude woman lying on a bed with legs spread wide open.) was considered very provocative...

Today the painting is exhibited at the very respectable Musee d'Orsay in Paris.

One can see that the model was not shaved; perhaps this modern coquetry was not in fashion in the late 19th century. If you are interested in making a casting of your wife or girlfriend's pussy, I would strongly recommend that she shave or wax herself. The bushy pubes would not be captured very well by the molding material...

  1. Not seeing her face, the painting being centered on her hairy crotch makes this image very erotic...
