"Sleaze: A Glimpse into London's Underbelly" Step back in time to the swinging sixties with Arnold Louis Miller's controversial documentaries, "London in the Raw" and "Primitive London. " These films dared to expose the gritty reality of a city teeming with sleaze. In one iconic poster for "London in the Raw, " we see a collage of images that hint at the debauchery lying beneath London's glamorous facade. Anne Delyse captivates audiences in Miller's "Primitive London, " embodying both allure and vulnerability as she navigates this seedy world. The lithograph titled "If I catch you" evokes intrigue, leaving us curious about what transgressions may occur within its vivid imagery. Similarly, Guy de Maupassant's scandalous tale, "Madame Tellier's House, " takes us on a train ride filled with pleasure and secrets. As we depart for La Begude through a captivating color lithograph from 1906, we can't help but wonder what hidden desires await us there, and is clear that Miller had an unflinching eye for capturing society at its most raw and uninhibited moments. Even politicians were not immune to sleaze, as seen in Neil Hamilton MP January '98 photograph alongside his wife. The juxtaposition of power and scandal serves as a reminder that no social class is exempt from temptation. William Hogarth’s masterpiece “Industry and Idleness” portrays an idle prentice betrayed by his own vices—a cautionary tale warning against succumbing to moral decay amidst urban temptations. Miller’s posters for both “London in the Raw” films serve as visual invitations into this underworld—enticing yet unsettling glimpses into a realm where boundaries are pushed and inhibitions shed. Join us on this journey through time where sleaze reigns supreme; experience firsthand how these daring artists exposed society’s hidden underbelly.
