Fragments From The Delta Venus, by Anais Nin with Judy Chicago (Illustrator)

As a tribute to the legacy of her mentor, Judy Chicago shares some of her memories of their encounters in her introduction to "Fragments from the Delta of Venus," a collection of twenty artworks pairing Chicago's sensuous watercolor images with extremely evocative phrases from Nin's famed collection of stories.

The book promises to be a breakthrough in the history of erotic art, which - for centuries - has belonged almost exclusively to male artists and a male audience. Fragments from the "Delta of Venus" might be said to be a continuation of Judy Chicago and Anais  Nin's earlier dialogue, illuminating, in both images and words, the powerful fantasies and desires of the female mind.
