Physique Pictorial. Volume 9, Number 3, January 1960

Descripción

5-1/4 x 8-1/4" stapled illustrated wraps. Unpaginated, but [32] pages, illustrated throughout with b/w half-tone photographs. Fine, without flaw. Bob Mizer founded the Athletic Model Guild (AMG) in 1945, and began issuing PHYSIQUE PICTORIAL in 1951 as a way to promote AMG's growing portfolio of male models and also the work of other artists and photographers such as Bruce Bellas, Tom of Finland, and Alonzo "Lon" Hanagan. The magazine continued until 1990, documenting the 20th century underground physical beauty movement, featuring "flexing muscle men both in costume and out, set among lavish landscapes or simply grinning for the camera in Mizer's studio," along with their bios and contact information. Over the years the magazine inspired artists as diverse as David Hockney and Robert Mapplethorpe, not to mention countless gay men world-wide. This issue features Bud Counts on the cover, a full page dedicated to "hunkering" (the "basic physique pose," open kneed and straight on to the camera), and homoerotic drawings by George Quaintance, Tom of Finland, Bill Mac Lane, and Ronald Mc Cann.
