SynopsisWhile the female nude has long played a conspicuous role in western iconography, the male nude has not always enjoyed such attention, or acceptance. This ode to the male physique celebrates the evolving, at one time illicit, art form from anonymous 19th century erotica through to contemporary work from David Hockney and Duane Michaels. Through the classic, the playful, and the provocative, it explores the compositions, postures, and role-playing of this often under-explored genre. Esteemed masters such as Herbert List, George Platt Lynes or Robert Mapplethorpe are all there, alongside Baron Wilhelm von Gloeden, famed for his homoerotic images of nude youths in classical postures in Sicily. Further highlights include illustrations from Physique Pictorial , the leading organ of the mid-50s gay scene and a pioneer in gay publishing., Explore the compositions, postures, and role-playing of the male nude genre from anonymous 19th century erotica through to contemporary work from David Hockney and Duane Michaels.

    This book while smaller in size has excellent photographic content. It makes an excellent addition to any book collection of this genre.

  • exactly what it says,photyos of handsome men without clothesw

    I am not sure it is better than expected, there is a lack of Bruce Weber's photos.../and it is slightly dated, however the book holds its own ,I wonder if there is a large edition for sale?
