Examples from the Internet (not verified by PONS Editors)

The paintings of the female couples are now two things at once :

they openly lay out the pornographic tendency, while at the same time there is an erotic bent that leans more toward concealing the basics.

They are paintings full of intimacy, with an almost fleeting, melancholy effect, and despite the manifest sexual figuration of the lesbian couples, the act of observing remains distanced.

Die Bilder der sich liebenden Frauenpaare sind nun beides :

Sie haben die pornografische Tendenz alles offen zu legen und gleichzeitig eine erotische Neigung, die eher dazu tendiert, das Eigentliche zu verbergen.

Es sind Bilder voller Intimität, sie wirken fast flüchtig und melancholisch, trotz der eindeutigen sexuellen Figurationen der lesbischen Paare, bleibt der Akt des Schauens distanziert.
