Without DJ, as issued. Presents Julian Hargreaves' "Naked Life". An attempt to somehow de-mystify the photographic male nude. Every photograph is carefully composed, dramatically lit, and highly erotic. Virtually every nude is full-frontal and in many instances, "in-your-face". The men, all of them Latinos, are shown grabbing their genitals or partially erect, and are photographed in public places. Some of them will rival the best-looking models of Bruce Weber, Herb Ritts, and Greg Gorman. But all of them have a darker, more sinister look, an aura of danger about them that makes them more, rather than less, attractive. Hargreaves' explicit intention is to de-mythologize and "de-idealize" the male nude in the Bruce Weber, Herb Ritts, and Greg Gorman vein. He succeeds brilliantly. An absolute "must-have" title for Julian Hargreaves collectors. This title is now collectible. This is one of few copies of the First Hardcover Edition/First Printing still available online and is in especially fine condition: Clean, crisp, and bright, a pristine beauty. Please note: Copies available online have serious flaws or are remainder-marked. This is surely an accessible and lovely alternative. A rare copy thus. Lavishly illustrated with full-page color and black-and-white plates. One of the most brilliant photographers of the male nude of our time. A fine copy. . ISBN 0953743861.
