I tried to contact the book shop “Golden Thread Rare Books” operated by the group owner. “You cannot perform that action”, but I got invited “to have a look at some of our books”. The proposed category: “Erotica”. So probably it’s not incidental that quite a few posts in that group are soft porn kitsch. And where depictions of nudes are masterpieces, juicy comments turn them into porn.

For a more civilized group (albeit focusing on illustrations and not fine art paintings), you might want to look at Golden Age of Illustrations. There you also find all Snark illustrations by Henry Holiday.
