## Summary

A debossed flexibound photography book titled 'Physique Naughty Edition' by Vince Aletti, featuring rare homoerotic physique photography prints from the 1930s to the 1960s.

## Description

Physique showcases over 250 rare physique photography prints from the private collection of renowned critic and curator Vince Aletti. Spanning the 1930s to the early 1960s, these photographs chronicle a hidden, coded world of homoerotic imagery. Once sold discreetly through mail-order catalogues and underground physique magazines, the prints point to an emergent queer sensibility and visibility.  Accompanying this visual archive is a personal essay by Aletti which traces the historical and political significance of these images, firmly establishing their place in the canon of photography. He celebrates the artistry of the photographers, models, and studios that brought the photographs to life. Physique reveals a forgotten chapter of American gay culture in which photographic prints served as a lifeline, connecting a community of men under threat while also providing solace, pleasure, and empowerment amid oppression.   This Naughty Edition features an alternative, distinctly erotic cover image.   Website exclusive, limited edition of 250 signed and numbered copies.
