This volume is part of the American Photography of the Male Nude 1940–1970 series, which focuses on some of the pioneers of male nude photography, featuring their groundbreaking contributions to the medium of homoerotic art. From Lon of New York's stylized, classically posed portraits to Dave Martin's wholesome, athletic young men and Bruce of Los Angeles' cavorting models, these books rescue an era of American visual arts that has virtually been forgotten. Additional volumes are devoted to the formal, carefully posed portraits of Al Urban and the projected backgrounds and lavish props of Bob Mizer.
Dave Martin: American Photography of the Male Nude 1940–1970, Volume III Reviews
-
I love love love when you can tell a photographer knows his/her stuff about the field, because it not only improves their work but shows a passion for preserving the future of photography. This is especially relevant to pioneers of male nude photography as they were heavily censored and harassed in the 50s-60s
during the McCarthy era + prior to
the Womack Supreme Court decision defining "obscene" material. A solid addition to the series.
