Martin Eder
is a German painter best known for his depictions of semi-nude women in
pornographic poses. The nude subjects of his work are painted alongside planes
of color and animal motifs. His unique style is influenced by a combination of
softcore porn and nudes painted by Lucas Cranach the Elder, Sandro Botticelli,
and Édouard Manet. “I think a nude is always sexual, as long as society doesn’t
change completely,” he stated. “Nudes will always be around us, so I reinvented
the nude for myself.” Born on August 31, 1968 in Augsburg, Germany, he studied
fine art at the Academy of Fine Arts Nuremberg and at the Dresden Academy of
Fine Arts, under the instruction of the artist Eberhard Bosslet. Eder currently
lives and works in Berlin, Germany. Today, the artist’s works are in the
collections of The Museum of Modern Art in New York, the Museum of Contemporary
Art in Los Angeles, and the Seavest Collection of Contemporary American Realism
in Purchase, NY, among others.
