Subliminal Ad-Ventures in Erotic Art, by Wilson Bryan Key Dr. Key is a member of the Mensa Society. In this pioneering work on subliminal commu-nications, he analyzes how the media is being manipulated at the expense of innocent by-standers who receive hidden signals without being aware of the fraud. This abuse is espe-cially prominent through the use of inductive erotic images such as the popular character of “Smooth character†Camel. “His book goes beyond the subliminal implications of erotic art. Embedding subliminally encoded messages has been a practice of great artists, as it is a practice in the modern days of print, celluloid and computer media. Spin the record backward and you will get a secret message; play it regularly, and the same message may be getting to your subconscious.†Among the many artists and famous personae studied in this book, Dr. Key shows a spe-cial preference for individuals such as da Vinci, Michelangelo, Rubens, Rembrandt, Picasso, and many more.
