Verzending of ophalen te Leiden


The first book of images from champion Studios, famous for quality color images of handsome, athletic young men from the late 1950's and early '60's. These 345 photographs of scantily clad athletes--packed with amusing props, costumes, and bulging posing pouches--are notable not only for the commercial success they enjoyed during their heyday, but also for their enduring creativity and imagination. Whether measured in terms of his prolific output, sales, his early and sophisticated use of customer mailing lists, or his impact upon the U.S. censorship laws of his time, Kundzicz and his work left an indelible imprint on male physique photography. Today, nearly half a century later, Kundzicz's work and his most popular models continue to have their ardent fans.

In de late jaren 1950 en 1960 gaf Champion Studio (Walter Kundzicz) vorm aan de mannelijke lichaamsfotografie. De verfrissend sprankelende foto's van schaars geklede atleten - met hun rekwisieten, kostuums en gewaagde poses - zijn vandaag net zo krachtig en hypersexy als een halve eeuw geleden.

In den späten fünfziger und sechziger Jahren prägte das Champion Studio (Walter Kundzicz) die männliche Körperfotografie. Die erfrischend-spritzigen Fotos knapp bekleideter Athleten - mit ihren Requisiten, Kostümen und den prallen Posen - sind heute noch so kraftvoll und hypersexy wie vor einem halben Jahrhundert.
