Bianchi, Tom — Out of the Studio
New York, St. Martin's Press, 1991. First Edition. Hardcover. Cream cloth with gray lettering; pale green & BW illustrated dust jacket, illustrated flyleaves, unpaginated, 71 BW plates. Presents some of the work of American photographer Tom Bianchi (b. 1945), who specializes in depicting male nudes. "Bianchi broke new ground in the representation of the male nude when he asked some of his friends to join him in making pictures that celebrated their physical selves and their affectionate friendships. Playing with the conventions for imagining the male nude, Bianchi's photographs constitute a record of the natural grace, wit, imagination, and friendship of these men that transcends their physical beauty."
