Figure Study nude physique Photographs / LGBTQ Gay History
13x9.5 oversized, full page images in black and white & color
Long before videos, mail order photo based underground magazines were the medium
for gay pulp. Mr Big of this era documents early Stonewall era and beyond. Illustrated, a treasure to vintage fans.
David
Hurles' "Speeding" can be seen as the compliment to "Mr. Big."
While Hurles' photos idolized mostly white rough trade, Jager does
the same with urban African-American men. Both photographers take
marginalized, lower-class men and the unvarnished machismo they project
as their subject. Hurles uses a more stylistic posing of his subjects
though Jager has better
production values; expertly re-mastered, giving a much clearer and
crisper quality.
A historical artifact of seventies pop culture and sexual liberation. The complete lack of sophisticated art
direction is precisely it's strength. The garish interiors and
un-polished men are period perfect. 1970s reality, black Xploitation Pam Greer Shaft Superfly era - when activism around same-sex desire was still new and
retained the New Left social sexual radicalism.
These city men are edgy regular guys
like JJ Evans, real, not gym rats; polar-opposites of the
corporate Abercrombie Fitch concept that
dominates contemporary male culture
beefcake of Colt Studio to the twinks of Calvin Klein parodies of macho that now define male culture is fully
understood as that manscaped phony facade when viewing these historic older images.
