Leddick, David * Winslow, Ethan: NAKED MEN: PIONEERING MALE NUDES 1935-1955; ISBN: 0316644811, London, Universe Publishing, [1998],

OPBd.mit OUmschlag, 127 S., 4° mit zahlreichen teils farbigen Bild-Aufnahmen im Text. Neues Exemplar/Brand new copy. Sehr gut erhalten. Landmark retrospective collection of vintage male nudes. The first volume in a trilogy that includes "Male Nude Too" and "Male Nude Now". Now considered a late-modern male erotic photography classic. The first appearance of the title in the United Kingdom. An elegant production by Ethan Winslow: Oversize-volume format. Hard pictorial boards with titles on spine, as issued. Photographs by various contributors. Foreword by Quentin Crisp. DJ blurbs by Francesco Scavullo and Bruce Weber. Printed on thick coated stock paper in Singapore to the highest standards. In pictorial DJ with titles on the cover and spine, as issued. Collects and preserves for posterity the most important early nudes done in America for artistic as well as erotic purposes (the two are inseparable). What makes this collection stand apart is its genuine success in finding nudes of American (and a few English) models who later on became huge successes as artists, actors, and writers. Yul Brynner is here, with a full head of hair, in an unabashed full-frontal pose. So are Horst, Christopher Isherwood, Tennessee Williams, George Platt Lynes, and Paul Cadmus, among so many others. The most handsome model in the entire collection is William Christian Miller, as photographed by both George Platt Lynes and Paul Cadmus. Miller was "so beautiful he stopped cars in the streets", and was the devoted George Platt Lynes' muse. Accompanied by a scholarly historical account of the development of the male photographic nude within its cultural context, each living subject is also shown as he looks at the time of the book's publication, as virile, handsome, and attractive as ever. The book's two fascinating sequels, while bringing the subject up-to-date, have not surpassed the sensuous beauty, impeccable scholarship, and sublime production values of this pioneering project. This title was an astonishing success, went into multiple subsequent printings, and a paperback edition. Like the American, the First British Edition has been out-of-print for a long time and is now very difficult to find in collectible condition. * Wir haben während des Jahres 2008 völlige Produktion von Gesellschaft Fraktaly Publishers, GmbH eingekauft.
