The Male Nude by David Leddick 2005, Softcover. First Edition Platt Lynes List.

Description: For anyone who worships the male body or wants to know why others do (TASCHEN's 25th anniversary special edition) While the female nude has long played a concpicuous role in western iconography, the male nude has not always enjoyed such adoration. This collection provides an overdue review of material that at one time could only be bought under the counter, beginning with the anonymous erotica of the 19th century. It features the pioneer homoerotic nude photographs of Baron Wilhelm von Gloeden, posing nude youths in classical postures at Taormina in Sicily. It includes illustrations from groundbreaking magazines such as Physique Pictorial, the leading organ of the mid-50s gay scene, and it covers the entire range from classic masters of male nude photography, such as Herbert List, George Platt Lynes or Robert Mapplethorpe, to the pin-up beefcake of the sex magazines. This book is a must-have for photography and art enthusiasts. It features 576 pages of stunning male nude photographs by Leddick David, with illustrations that bring the human figure to life. The book is in perfect format and has a weight of 44.8 Oz, making it easy to carry around. The book was published in 2005 by Taschen and has dimensions of 7.7 in x 5.6 in x 1.8 in. It is written in English and covers topics such as subjects and themes related to nudes and human figures. With its excellent quality and attention to detail, this book is a great addition to any collection.
