J. C. Leyendecker:: A Gallery of Beefcakes

From Weekly Publishers -"Homo-Erotic follows the artist's life from his humble beginnings to his success and, finally, to his death in 1951. The format of the biography is appealing and attractive. The pages are replete with clear black and white reproductions of Leyendecker's paintings as well as photographs of unclothed men who serve as surrogate Leyendecker models. The text is well researched and authentic; the writing style is free-flowing and the words capture the naturalness of Leyendecker's paintings.Public libraries and school libraries will want to add this fascinating, informative, and inspiring biography to their collections."
