Reseña del editor:
Commencing his career in the 1950s as a self-taught photographer working primarily for the gay underground Zurich club and magazine Der Kreis, Karlheinz Weinberger (1921-2006) took candid shots of lovers, friends and strangers on the street with an overt erotic investment in his subjects. He soon developed a fixation with the working-class youth culture known as the "Halbstark" (or "half strong"). Its members demonstrated their anti-establishment stance with embellished outfits of denim and leather, in an exaggerated and homemade version of the popularized American bad-boy style of the time. In his stark, posed photographs of these young rebels, Weinberger focuses on individual figures, exploring both a personal erotic obsession and the cultural symbolism of blue jeans, whose scarcity in post war Switzerland implied not just a fashion statement but a badge of pride. This publication reproduces a rare portfolio of these works that Weinberger designed himself in the mid-1950s.

Descripción Hardcover. Condición: As New. 1st Edition. In as new condition. 112 pages, folio-size hardcover in pictorial boards, 15 by 9.75 . Brilliant book of homoerotic photos, the first publication of a self-created portfolio by Swiss photographer Weinberger from the late 1950 s. Weinberger was a self-taught photographer who worked in a warehouse by day, publishing photos under an alias in seminal gay underground publication Der Kreis, his images uniformly homoerotic, showing both friends and lovers as well as documenting fringe male groups like bikers. The images here provide an inventory of men in blue jeans, which were scarce in postwar Switzerland and thus presented both masculine definition and a symbol of individuality. Beautifully printed book, presented like a photo album, which large-format photos every other page. Essential book. EXTRA POSTAGE WILL BE REQUIRED FOR INTERNATIONAL SHIPMENT.
