Ren Hang, who took his life February 23, 2017, was an unlikely rebel. Slight of build, shy by nature, prone to fits of depression, the 29-year-old Beijing photographer was nonetheless at the forefront Chinese artists' battle for creative freedom. Like his champion Ai Weiwei, Ren was controversial in his homeland and wildly popular in the rest of the world. He said, “I don't really view my work as taboo, because I don't think so much in cultural context, or political context. I don't intentionally push boundaries, I just do what I do.” Why? Because his models, friends, and in his last years, fans, are naked, often outdoors, high in the trees or on the terrifyingly vertiginous rooftops of Beijing, stacked like building blocks, heads wrapped in octopi, body cavities sprouting phone cords and flowers, whatever entered his mind at the moment

Im Jahr 1965 entwickelte Tom of Finland einen wiederkehrenden Charakter für seine Comicgeschichten, den ultimativen „Tom’s Man“. Zunächst entstand Vicky, gefolgt von einer Tarzan-inspirierten Figur namens Jack. 1968 wählte Tom schließlich Kake, einen dunkelhaarigen Ledermann mit Schnauzer, der oft ein hautenges weißes T-Shirt mit dem Motto „Fucker“ trug. Kake verkörperte einen hypermännlichen Missionar der Post-Stonewall-Ära, der auf seinem Motorrad umherfuhr und das Bild von freiem, befriedigendem und ekstatischem Schwulensex in die Welt trug. Tom lebte viele seiner Fantasien durch Kake aus, wodurch dieser zum Sinnbild des „Gay Clone Look“ der 1970er-Jahre wurde. Zwischen 1968 und 1986 veröffentlichte Tom insgesamt 26 Folgen von Kakes Abenteuern, die meisten als 20-seitige Heftchen. Die Sammlung versammelt alle 26 Einzelgeschichten und bringt uns zurück zu einer Zeit, in der Männer noch richtige Kerle waren, Sex sorglos war und ein dicker Schnauzbart ein absolutes Muss darstellte.

Get beneath the tight jeans of Tom of Finland's working-class heroes with this pocket-sized package of blue-collar lovers.

The definitive annotated and illustrated history of girlie periodicals (1958-1967) Volume III begins with an explosion of new American men's magazines following the redefinition of US obscenity laws in the late fifties. We examine the enormous impact of Playboy, not only on American titles, but on magazines worldwide. This is the decade when France finally declines as a great force in magazine production; England starts to show her pervy side; Argentina embraces burlesque; and Germany once again blends political activism with nudity. By 1965 even Australia has a booming men's magazine industry. The volume ends with a look at those great back-of-the-magazine ads for party pills and the first inflatable ?dates?. The History of Men's Magazines, Volume III contains over 400 full color pages of vintage covers and interiors and a well-researched text profiling quirky publishers and artists, individual magazines, and the place of it all in the Swinging Sixties culture.

Elvgren-Girls gehen nicht, sie stolpern, straucheln und fallen durchs Leben. Ihr Wappentier ist der Tölpel, ihr Schicksal das Missgeschick, das ihren Fans großzügige und stimmungsaufhellende Blicke auf Straps, Strumpfsaum und Höschen gewährt. In seiner drei Jahrzehnte umspannenden Karriere schuf Gil Elvgren rund 700 Pin-up-Bilder, fast ausnahmslos in Öl auf Leinwand, und wurde zu einem Star des Genres. Bei Sammlern erfreuen sich seine All-American-Girls in Nöten heute noch größerer Beliebtheit als die Arbeiten seiner Kollegen George Petty und Alberto Vargas. Seine Werke finden sich in einigen der meistverkauften Bücher und Kalender des TASCHEN-Verlags, und nun sind 200 seiner besten in einem kompakten Paket erhältlich, das ideal zum Verschenken geeignet ist – oder für den Eigenbedarf. Von den ersten Gemälden Mitte der Dreißigerjahre bis in die Siebziger hinein ist alles vertreten – und das handlicher, preisgünstiger und hinreißender als je zuvor!

In 1945 Bob Mizer began taking photographs of strapping young men on Muscle Beach in Venice, California. In December of that year he formed the Athletic Model Guild to market his photos, and "physique photography" was born. Before Mizer there were body builders and men who photographed them, but AMG photos, even those of the same men, were different, subtly provocative, discretely aimed at a gay audience. They weren't nude, but showed as much as the law allowed in 1945. ... TASCHEN's two-volume edition of "1000 Model Directory" contains prints from Mizer's original 4 x 5 negatives to present these handsome hunks in stunning clarity. Editor Dian Hanson trawled through a quarter million male nudes to select this lineup of top models, including movie stars Sammy Jackson, Richard Harrison, and Ed Fury. Glenn Corbett of TV's 77 Sunset Strip is also here, as well as Nick Adams, star of The Rebel, and top body builders Chris Dickerson, Dick Dubois, Vince Gironda, Bill Grant, Zabo Koszewski, Henry Lenz, Don Peters, Bob Shealy, Charles Stroeder, Armand Tanny, and John Tristram. --Publisher
