Dan Greenburg’s Porno-Graphics: The Shame of our Art Museums is a peculiar little book from 1969 that falls into the comedy/novelty category. It is out-of-print, scarce, and pretty much forgotten. This book – where art’s most famous nudes are covered up by movable parts - turns art on its head and could easily have been something that the Monty Python team produced.

Some rather famous flesh is given attire. Edouard Manet’s Olympia receives a cream sheet to cover her modesty via a little lever. Venus de Milo’s famous torso is shrouded by another lever. Matisse’s Pink Nude receives the skimpiest of negligees. Botticelli’s The Birth of Venus is gifted a mane of extra long hair to ensure her bits and pieces are hidden from view. Da Vinci’s Proportions of the Human Figure sees that straggly-haired man gain an extra set of hands to protect his meat and two veg.
