For anyone who worships the male body or wants to
know why others do (TASCHEN's 25th anniversary special edition)
While the female nude has long played a conspicuous role in western
iconography, the male nude has not always enjoyed such adoration.
This collection provides an overdue review of material that at one
time could only be bought under the counter, beginning with the
anonymous erotica of the 19th century. It features the pioneer
homoerotic nude photographs of Baron Wilhelm von Gloeden, posing
nude youths in classical postures at Taormina in Sicily. It includes
illustrations from groundbreaking magazines such as Physique
Pictorial, the leading organ of the mid-50s gay scene, and it covers
the entire range from classic masters of male nude photography, such
as Herbert List, George Platt Lynes or Robert Mapplethorpe, to the
pin-up beefcake of the sex magazines. |

Artistic Aims
| Mikel's aim for his works to challenge
traditional censorships regarding male nudity by blurring the line between
what some might find as 'pornography' and 'art'. By placing his models,
and himself, within a modern world of technology, he has shown a unique
eye for composition and lighting. Though they are strong, they are not
raw and are always infused with beauty. |
