Depuis 7 ans, de mystérieuses inconnues distillent avec humour des conseils complices à chaque coin de rue. Lui révéler un secret... L'inciter à méditer... Provoquer son envol... Femmes sans visage aux peaux douces et veloutées, les égéries d'Aubade affinent leurs sortilèges. Hervé Lewis, amoureux du corps féminin, s'est prêté au jeu de la séduction. Ses photos inédites sont comme guidées par le fantasme et la sensualité.

Augenblicke der Verführung

Verlockend, überraschend und stets hocherotisch - Dessous. Herve Lewis hat betörende Fotos aufgenommen und legt mit diesem Büchlein ein kleines Meisterwerk der zarten, unmittelbaren Sinnlichkeit vor. Eine Hommage an den Zauber der weiblichen Schönheit.
Dessous - das sind hauchzarte Träume, die den Blick durch Rätsel reizen. Verlockend, überraschend und stets hocherotisch. Der französische Fotograf Herve Lewis hat mit seinen Aufnahmen wahrhaftig Augenblicke der Verführung und zugleich kleine Meisterwerke der erotischen Fotografie geschaffen.

It is impossible to separate out the history of representations of the naked male from the history of gay male culture, sensibility, or erotica. From the statuary of classical Greece to Michelangelo's David to the photography of Robert Mapplethorpe, the nude male form has signified for gay men not only sexual desire but homosexuality itself.

David Leddick's The Male Nude is an almost 800-page survey of the nude male in photography of the past century that presents us with the changes in body type, beauty, and sexual affect that have occurred over the past 100 years, but with evolving notions of "art" and "culture" as well. From Victorian prints of strong men to the "health" photos of the 1940s and '50s to the works of contemporary artists such as Mapplethorpe, Bruce Weber, and Nan Goldin, David Leddick charts the evolutions that the male body--and gay culture--have taken for ten decades.

Internationally renowned art critic Edward Lucie-Smith has achieved a first: Flesh & Stone, a volume of gay erotic photography featuring his own work, accompanied by a brilliant text highlighting the depiction of the male nude form in classical sculpture and contemporary photography.

Flesh & Stone teases the viewer into deconstructing pairs of photographs presented side-by-side: flesh or stone? Lucie-Smith masterfully captures details from well-known art masterpieces and anonymous male lovers. An important contribution to the way homosexuals see themselves expressing love, desire and emotions.

Through extraordinary research, David Leddick has traced the modeling careers of these artists, writers, and photographers, from the 1930s to the 1950s, as they gave birth to new notions of male beauty and desire. Profiles include Yul Brenner, Tennessee Williams, and Paul Cadmus. 90 photos.
