Mr Big : the African American Models. 2008 Edition, the Second printing. Vintage 60s 70s 80s Retro Mod / Seventies Pop Culture peer of Calvin Anderson Sierra Domino Figure Study nude physique Photographs / LGBTQ Gay History / 13×9.5 oversized, oop rare. Mr Big of this era documents early Stonewall era and beyond. Illustrated, a treasure to vintage fans. David Hurles’ “Speeding” can be seen as the compliment to Mr. While Hurles’ photos idolized mostly white rough trade, Jager does the same with urban African-American men. Both photographers take marginalized, lower-class men and the unvarnished machismo they project as their subject. Hurles uses a more stylistic posing of his subjects though Jager has better production values; expertly re-mastered, giving a much clearer and crisper quality. A historical artifact of seventies pop culture and sexual liberation. The complete lack of sophisticated art direction is precisely it’s strength. The garish interiors and un-polished men are period perfect. 1970s reality, black Xploitation Pam Greer Shaft Superfly era – when activism around same-sex desire was still new and retained the New Left social sexual radicalism. These city men are edgy regular guys like JJ Evans, real, not gym rats; polar-opposites of the corporate Abercrombie Fitch concept that dominates contemporary male culture beefcake of Colt Studio to the twinks of Calvin Klein parodies of macho that now define male culture is fully understood as that manscaped phony facade when viewing these historic older images.
