Gaston de Sainte-Croix (1904 \u2013 1977) is one of many prolific illustrators of whom almost nothing is known beyond the work that bears their name.\u00a0<\/p>

\u00a0<\/p>

It's just possible that it's a pseudonym; it has been linked to other names of artists that we know are pen names, including Xavier Saint-Just and Georges Neczpal.\u00a0<\/p>

\u00a0<\/p>

It is said that he was a friend of the illustrator Rojan, although it is almost impossible in the world of erotic illustration not to know the great Rojankovski.<\/p>

\u00a0<\/p>

Sainte-Croix's main claim to fame lies in the more than three hundred cover illustrations he created for paperback science fiction titles between 1965 and 1973, mostly for the publisher Fleuve Noir.\u00a0<\/p>

\u00a0<\/p>

He was a master of SF art.<\/p>

Long before his career in Futurist art, his colorful style appeared in the illustrations of some period classics, The Diary of a Chambermaid and Julie's Wanderings, Le Grand Meaulnes... then almost a decade later, he appears again as a creator of pencil drawings for the Nous deux editions.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t

The 16 drypoints shown here are part of my private collection. They are taken from a 1956 edition of Nous Deux. Here we follow a young woman's initiation into pleasure. The drawings are very precise and exceptionally realistic. I particularly like the combination of candor and the expression of pleasure that plunge us into the ecstatic games of the young lady.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t
