Relatively little is known about the artist we’re going to speak about in this article. Mario Tauzin (1909-1979) was born in Saint-Pardoux-Isaac, a village east of Bordeaux in western France. He gained international popularity with the works published in 1946. His artistic performance allowed his name to appear in many anthologies of erotic art. The artist is said to be a follower of shunga prints and Picasso‘s paintings.

Forbidden to Adults
Eugene C. Burt states the following in his “Dictionary of Erotic Artists” (2010): “Mario Tauzin was a printmaker and painter active in the 1910s and 1920s in Paris. Said to be “obsessed with female form.” He is credited with saying that the female form is “the only subject worthy of being painted.” In 1945, he created an engraving series entitled “Forbidden to adults” as a protest over the closure of French brothels by the State.”
