Out of the Studio

By Tom Bianchi

Book Overview

The unself-conscious and affectionate contact between men that is so startling and so characteristic of Tom Bianchi's photogrpahs speaks to a reality rarely reported in art. His work brings men out of the studio, out of the isolation of the classic male nude, and into the sunlight, into the magic circle of friendship, joy, and life. 88 duotone photos.

IDEALIZED GAY MALE FORM

Anyone who loves the male form will love Bianchi's Out of the Studio. This photographer is not erotic, romantic, nor pornographic. Rather he is narcissistic in the best classical Greek tradition. To admire perfectly developed male bodies, and perhaps draw them, this is the book to buy. But after awhile these beauties become much like Lil' Abner and the other beautiful men of Dogpatch, USA-- too self absorbed.
