About This Item
Koln, Germany: Benedikt Taschen Verlag GmbH, 1994. First Edition. Trifold pamphlet with separate posters. Very Good. Posterbook: Six frameable posters (21 in. x 12 in.) of Gloeden's photographs of youthful men. Trifold pictorial paper case holds the posters, with essays on the four interior panels. Rubbing to edges of case with 1/2 in x 1/2 in. sticker scar to front. Wilhelm Iwan Friederich August von Gloeden (1856 - 1931), commonly known as Baron von Gloeden, was a German photographer who worked mainly in Italy. He is mostly known for his pastoral nude studies of Sicilian boys, which usually featured props such as wreaths or amphoras, suggesting a setting in the Greece or Italy of antiquity. From a modern standpoint, his work is commendable due to his controlled use of lighting as well as the often elegant poses of his models. His innovations include the use of photographic filters and special body makeup (a mixture of milk, olive oil, and glycerin) to disguise skin blemishes. His work, both landscapes and nudes, drew wealthy tourists to Sicily, particularly gay men uncomfortable in northern Europe, and changed the history of Taormina.
