About this book
In the pre-Stonewall era before the advent of the gay rights movement male nude photography was kept underground. Photographers feared police confiscation harassment and worse. This volume uncovers the work of ten different photographers produced during this suppressive periodimages hidden away for a generation in private collections and closed archives. The majority have never been published. A full range of styles is included: gleaming muscle gods shot in the physique magazine style sun-dappled outdoor nudes from the 1960s and artful black-and-white studio portraits by George Platt Lynes. Uncovered restores a lost chapter to the history of the male nude photograph and reintroduces more than one hundred unsung classics of male erotic photography to the world.
