David Leddick (1930–2023)
Auteur de Male Nude
A propos de l'auteur
David Leddick's writing ranges from exhibit catalogs to novels and takes the male figure--in art and in society--as its central theme. His nonfiction work includes Male Nude and Naked Men: Pioneering Male Nudes. Naked Men has been described as "an erotically charged spectacle of photographs taken afficher plus by George Platt Lynes and the PAJAMA group from the thirties, forties and fifties." As a work of artistic history, it introduces some of the first nude male photographic models in America. In Male Nude, Leddick writes that "for some people, nakedness signifies liberation, a joyful and un-neurotic sexuality; for others, it stands for a licentiousness which threatens traditional moral standards. Both of these seemingly contradictory attitudes rest on a common assumption: that the exposed body is emotionally charged and potentially subversive." This book reviews treatment of the male nude in photography, from the minimal (yet controversial) work in the 19th century to the more assertive photography of the late 20th century. Leddick's fiction works include My Worst Date and Sex Squad. (Bowker Author Biography) afficher moins

The Sex Squad par David Leddick
Entertaining narrative about a ballet dancer, Harry Potter, who moves to Greenwich Village to pursue his career. The novel combines insights into the world of ballet with the eroticism of the bedroom. I found the protagonist likable and the prose style more than pleasant.

576 páginas de desnudos masculinos pueden parecer muchas, mas reunir hoy tantas fotografías de hombres desnudos en Europa y en Estados Unidos no es tan difícil, pues hay gran cantidad de hombres y mujeres que fotografían el cuerpo masculino para revistas o coleccionistas. Ver una fotografía de un hombre desnudo ya no hace estremecerse a nadie.
Più noto per le sue splendide raccolte d’arte e fotografia, in questo esordio narrativo David Leddick affronta la crescita di un ragazzo, Hugo, in una Miami quai romantica. Una storia in cui si intrecciano amori diversi, e si alternano diversi punti di vista nella narrazione che rendono il libro piacevole.
Little undersized book. Has some wonderful pics. Although now they may seem a bit dated. Think of the Calvin Klein underwear ads of the 90's. Has text that is presented with the pictures but none really seem to fit the pictures. Granted they all do have something to do with sun or beach, they don't have much to do with the pics or vice versa. Nice if you just wanna flip through and look at the pics I guess.
