Naked Men: Pioneering Male Nudes 1935-1955

Publisher: Universe
Author: David Leddick

Review

An extraordinary volume of male nude photography taken during the 1930s, 40's and 50s. Long before Stonewall and the gay pride movement, there was a small daring group of men - both photographers and models - who helped paved the way for our sexual liberation. Led by the photographer George Platt Lynes, the painter Paul Cadmus and patron Lincoln Kirstein, this group shattered taboos around male nudity. These highly evocative and erotic photographs are as relevant today as they were 50 years ago. Featuring Yul Brynner, Jean Marais, Paul Cadmus, Horst, George Platt Lynes, George Tooker, Tennessee Williams, Donald Windham and many more. This is truly a very special book of male photography.
