The Joy of Sex

The Joy of Sex

Peter Kindersley, New York, New York, 1972

Description

The prime concern was to reproduce a book showing the tenderness of the subject in the overall design, and particularly in the finished illustrations. This led to using tonal halftones as opposed to hardline or photographic mediums, which would have destroyed the greatness of the final effect.
