Allen Ellenzweig traces the male gaze upon men as captured by
the camera throughout the history of photography. More than one
hundred striking, provocative duotone photographs reflect a
wide-ranging history of photographic male homoeroticism and the
spiritual, physical, and intellectual exchange among men.
Accompanying these images is a detailed account of the multiple,
complex meanings of the homoerotic that have taken shape from the
1850s to today.
Ellenzweig situates each of his artists within their historical
context, with chapters devoted to specific photographers and eras.
He begins with nineteenth-century French photographer Eug?ne Durieu
and his studies of the male nude, created under the direction of
painter Eug?ne Delacroix. He then takes readers all the way through
the rebellious 1960s and the disputes surrounding Robert
Mapplethorpe's controversial retrospective in 1989 and 1990.
Showing that homoeroticism in photography is anything but a
contemporary invention, Ellenzweig unites photographers across the
stylistic spectrum within a theme that came to inspire a host of
larger spiritual, physical, and intellectual ideals.
