Julie Delcourt is or was a, presumably French, artist who made kinky erotic drawings. Her drawings are, it seems, those that became known in color (water colour and pastel) form, but unsigned, under the name or pseudonym German, who was often thought to be an artist from Germany, and/or to be identical to Richard Hegemann (or Hegemann’s pseudonym P. Rollmann) from Berlin.

The artist and his/her work remains much of mystery. The artwork of Delcourt/German has more of an “American 1950s-1970s” look than a “French or German 1930s” look. However some features in the images, such as doorknobs, are clearly non-US. The few spanking images show hand-spanking, the switch and the birch — no martinet, as were to be expected from a French artist. The visual style reminds of pin-up girls, magazine ad illustrations and fashion magazine drawings. The nylon stockings are more likely postwar than prewar. Pegging was rarely heard of before the 1970s, so it is possible that more than one artist created these works. The captions were certainly added later and do not appear on the original works of Ms. Delcourt.

It is very likely that many of these images were edited to fit into the sissy realm by various artists, adding stockings to images that did not previously include them, or a naughty penis to some that did. The captions are most certainly not original – but it’s all part of some good sissy fun!
