First Edition / First Printing. Fine in Fine Dust Jacket. Unpaginated. The photographer's second collection of male nudes. One of the most beautiful erotic art photography titles of the last decade of the 20th century. Limited Edition of 6000 copies. There is no ISBN. The only book published by Alluvial Publishing, which pioneered the high-quality male nude magazine with "Provocateur". The Limited Edition is now scarce. A brilliant production by Robert Rausch: Oversize-volume format. Pictorial hard boards with white titles printed on cover and spine, as issued. Photographs by George Machado. There is no text. Printed on pristine-white, thick coated stock paper in Milan, Italy to the highest standards. In pictorial DJ with titles on the cover and spine, as issued. Presents George Machado's "Four Men". The photographer's sequel to his breakthrough collection, "Masculine". The book is in four "fantasy" sequences, with one breathtakingly handsome all-American model appearing in each sequence: "Road to Morocco" (Martin James), "La Isla Bonita" (Matt), "The Cowboy Way" (Aaron Edwards), and "Viva Las Vegas" (Michael Walton). The desert, the island, the ranch (visually anticipating "Brokeback Mountain" by more than seven years), and the hedonistic lifestyle called Las Vegas all benefit from "Machado's use of light and shadow, his ability to match the pose, the subject, and the background, and most of all, his eye for the emotionally expressive and arresting qualities of the male form and face" (Frank Browning). An absolute "must-have" title for George Machado collectors. This title is a contemporary erotic art photography classic. This is one of few copies of the Limited Edition still available online and is in especially fine condition: Clean, crisp, and bright, a pristine beauty. Please note: Copies available online have serious flaws: Worn, soiled, torn, and very heavily used, you name it. This is surely an accessible and lovely alternative. A scarce copy thus. 200 toned plates. One of the most brilliant photographers of the male nude. A fine copy. (SEE ALSO OTHER GEORGE MACHADO TITLE IN OUR CATALOG).
