Artists have long turned to the works of others as a springboard for their own creations, a practice rooted in admiration, study, and reinterpretation. In the context of vintage BDSM art, this often involved drawing inspiration from photographs or sketches by peers, such as adapting poses, compositions, or themes to suit a personal style. This approach allowed artists to hone their craft, explore new techniques, or pay homage to influential figures, while sometimes pushing boundaries with colored remakes or subtle alterations. Whether driven by a desire to learn, innovate, or simply reimagine, these borrowings reflect a rich tradition of artistic exchange, though they also raise questions about originality and intent.

Throughout the years I found some artworks and knew I had seen the scenery before. My head might look as a large library but it is not always easy to retrace routes to knowledge stored in my head. Every time I find an artwork I know was inspired by a specific artwork or photo I try to combine them and store it with information. Here is a special compilation from what I have found so far and felt worthy enough to share here. Below every artwork the info is shared.

1. The art on the left was drawn by Paul Kamm (1891 – After 1935). Paul Klamm or Paul Kamm (who also used the pseudonym C. Soulier) was born 1891 in Berlin, Germany (year of death unknown). He was a German FemDom/BDSM artist in the 1920’s and 1930’s.
2. The art on the right resembles the style from German Jim. There is nothing known about this artist. His art seems to be from around 1940/1950. Typical for the artworks of Jim is that he drew over faces from photos. Sometimes you get the feeling you are not truly viewing art. Instead, it feels like looking at parts of a photograph. 

Photographed by Biederer Studio. This studio produced many bdsm themed photographes between 1910 and 1940. Artist Gert Gagelmann created illustrations in which one can recognize the models and scenery from the photos. _{View more enema photos by Biederer Studio}

The second collage shows an artwork that was created using three different photos as inspiration, I found two of those photos.
Gerhard Georg August Gagelmann (named Gert Gagelmann) was a commercial artist who lived and worked in Germany (ca 1901- 1962 ), he worked as German fashion magazine illustrator, active in the Weimar Republic._{Vintage Bdsm Art}

2. Sao-Chang created a different version from that specific artwork for the book Les Asservies de Slave Island, in 1935.

Arnim Horowitz (1880-1965) created this vivid FemDom Art.
Mademoiselle Spinelly, who’s real name wasElisa Berthelot (1887 – 1966), posed for this photo captured by Dora Kalmus (1881 – 1963) also known as Madame d’Ora.

1. Art by Wighead for the book Les Cruelles frénésies (1935). Wighead was an illustrator of femdom/femsub BDSM/spanking novels in the 1930s._{Vintage Bdsm Art}
2. Colorized artwork by unidentified artist. Notice how the curvy model was made less curvy, the blouse in the original sketch differs from the remake. In this colored artwork there is a whip on the table which is not seen in the original art. The artist had an eye for details that were added to his or her remake of the original.
