| Description |
The most startling quality about Moche erotic art
is its directness. Free from hypocrisy, with
neither blush nor apology, it depicts men and
women engaged in varied sexual activity. It
seems to say, "This is part of life, timeless and
undeniable." The progress of civilization has not
changed this most essential of human pleasures.
It unites all cultures and people through the
ages. To revile it is to deny the very fabric of
life. To accept it in the honest spirit in which it
was created is to be accepting of ourselves.
- (PF.1883)
