Playboy Prints: Surreal and Sexy Art to Boggle the Mind

Maury Hammond
Timeless pieces by legendary artists like Salvador Dali.

Can art that’s sexy also make you think? Of course it can. Whether you’re looking upwards at Michelangelo’s work on the Sistine Chapel or one of Peter Paul Reuben’s thick queens, great art since time immemorial has always had a sexy edge. These Playboy Prints featuring surreal scenes will stimulate the heart, but also, the mind.

The black and blue cover from October 1967 is simple, but striking. Maury Hammond’s “The Act of Love” Playboy pictorial from January 1971 is the perfect turn of the century piece. It rides the line between the groovy ’60s and the soon-to-be swinging ’70s.

Few pieces of surreal art are as captivating as “Snake and Egg” by Salvador Dali. It’s perhaps why it’s the lead art for Dali’s December 1974 Playboy pictorial. The more you stare at it, the more you discover the calling card of a timeless piece.

There’s something about artist Thierry Mugler’s Smoking Blonde from their January 1999 pictorial Sex Couture. Initially, it looks like any other Playboy feature image, until your eye finally catches the stark surprise. And then there’s Spiros Halaris’ illustration “The Kiss” from the Spring 2019 issue. It’s perfect for fans of surreal art and ’80s retro chic aesthetics alike.

Whatever Playboy prints surreal pieces you opt for are available in sizes big and small, and can add class to any room you hang them in. There are seven different formats to choose from, including canvas, acrylic, and even wood prints. Each frame is manufactured by expert craftsmen, with prices as low as $21. They’re delivered to your doorstep ready to hang, and even come with a 30-day money-back guarantee.
