The ultimate in sexist art, contrived copulation machines with mostly female subjects. "Tomi Ungerer's sexual contraptions are not the soft machines of mind, nor the impalpable machines of human relationship, but the self-parodying, hard mechanicals of alienated geniality.

John Hollander.. Signed by Author(s). Soft cover.
