Heres a picture I first saw in an art history magazine when I was about fourteen. Its by surrealist Max Ernst and comes from a graphic novel he produced in 1934 called Une Semaine De Bonte .Its fairly tame by todays standards but it blew my mind at the time.

my favorites
Here are my favorites that I have been collecting over the years:
the first one is from the 18th century - a naughty old French Rococo piece of work - I wonder if tickling is still big in France??
the 2nd is literally titled "Man Tickling a Woman's Nose with a Feather" and was painted c.1860. Those Victorians!
third one I think was from a tickle-phile website or magazine from the mid 2000's. Really nice stuff - combining some of my favorite things - pirates, tickling and bondage!
the last one is just one of my favorite works of art, period! "The Grand Odalisque"-Ingres c. 1814. I love how her feet are arched and how she is holding the fan over her derriere! So an odalisque was a harem girl - I wonder if the sultan liked to tickle her?? [giggles]

Here are a few that I have found, though they may be more 'suggestive' than most of the pics we are used to seeing here. But Ilike them.

Odysseus Queen - those are some beautiful finds! I love vintage erotica and erotic imagery in art .... here is another of my favorites : Courbet - Sleep - c.1866
And if anyone else is interested in this sort of thing, I lead a group on FL called "All I Need to Know About Kink I Learned from Art History" {yes this is a shameless plug} http://fetlife.com/groups/13653

Fascinating reading, Piper - thanks for pointing us to this. I whiled away a couple of hours of insomnia trying to get my head around the Surrealists.
Funny paradox isn't it - amazing art (if grotesque) born from the resistance of repressed sexuality & religious fanaticism. Ernst's collage art probably borrowed some of Gustave Doré's artwork. (But probably not his fairytale illustrations like this one
)

From my private stash ... [giggles]
Here are a couple of the more blatant tickle art piece from my collection....
The first one is Japanese. I have no idea the year it was completed or even the title, but I know that I like to it and it "speaks" to me!
No. 2 is Tickled Under the Nose - G. Dawson - c. late !9th Century - Again those Victorians and their tickling!

Hey there Mr ghbjjk - are you trying to bring out those latent switchy 'ler tendencies too???
Here's a thought...
Sadly, I am not quite the art historian which you obviously are, however I am reminded that tickling was an especially popular courting ritual in 18th and 19th century Russia. I wonder if the practice crept into any russian art? And for purely surreal artistic efforts, I recall seeing some early works of Albrecht Durer which actually were reminiscent of the sort of visuals that cropped up in Disney's Fantasia almost a century later.

Couple more tickle illustrations ...
Here are a few more things I have tracked down - I apologize for the multiple post but there is a theme and I think you all will see the method to my "madness".
This first set are all illustrations from the 40's and 50's that were published in Collier's magazine.
The first one obvious tickling!
The other two are nice because of the feet/stocking!
Hey I am a foot girl and a lapsed art historian! {giggles}
