Description: “if homosexuals want a literature they have a right to it.” Dr Womack’s lawyer asked the Supreme Court: “If we so-called normal people, according to our law, are entitled to have our pin-ups . . . .why shouldn’t they be allowed to have their pin-ups?” ALAN ALBERT | Cowboy bearded hairy muscle #2 Marlboro smoking, Levis vest, hirsute mesh sheer pouch by JIM FRENCH, LÜGER COLT era (1932-2017) Vintage single weight silver gelatin 8x10 ferrotype gloss photograph pre-1968 Jim French began drawing, and then photographing, male erotica in the 1960s. As a successful fashion illustrator, he and a friend co-founded a mail order company in New York City they named Lüger, to which French contributed homoerotic drawings of hyper-masculine types such as bikers, soldiers, and cowboys. He eventually bought out his business partner and by 1967, under the pseudonym Rip Colt, he founded Colt Studio. There he created highly detailed drawings for various Colt Studio books, magazines, and calendars, such as this lot. He soon turned to the Polaroid camera to shoot photographs of posed male models to serve as guides for his drawings, ultimately building a formidable reputation for himself as one of the most important photographers of the male form. French's fine art training and drawing skills can be credited for that success. As Nat Gozzano, COLT Studio's archivist and art director since 1997, noted: "As opposed to the early male pin-ups that were for gay audiences, but still masquerading as muscle magazines and athletic training magazines, Jim was more directly tailoring his images to the taste of gay audiences. His composition was so strong and from life drawing classes, he really knew how to pose models with strong tension in their bodies – and that set him apart from other people right away." The "Lüger" drawings featured hyper-masculine subjects: construction men, leather, surfers, cowboys, wrestlers, and sailors. The first print appearance of a Lüger Studio (2 drawings from his "Cowboy" series) was in the May–June 1966 issue of Young Physique. Photographic copies of the drawing sets were offered for purchase through mail order and were advertised in various magazines available at the time: The Young Physique, Mars, Muscleboy, Sir Gee, Male Classics, and Fizeek Art Quarterly. These copies were offered as thematic sets of either six or eight drawings. Lüger Studios also produced four different photographic sets of various male models. To avoid legal troubles, Lüger Studio offerings contained minimal frontal nudity but were nonetheless erotic and humorously creative in their suggestiveness. French's artwork was favorably received and was commended for its "unbridled imagination and a fantastic technique."Curiosa erotica gay art encompasses a diverse range of artistic expressions that explore themes of eroticism within the context of gay or LGBTQ+ experiences. This genre includes a variety of artistic mediums such as visual art, literature, photography, and film, each offering unique perspectives on same-sex desire and relationships. for reference not for sale COMBINED SHIPPING DISCOUNT, photographs books magazines added at a reduced rate We carry those that we ourselves like and believe in -- that we think will excite, enchant, and endure.Original, collectible vintage photographs, unique books of photography; famous and infamous photographers, and rare Magazines of the era; Heartland vernacular, antique original classics.
