110 Male Asses

This 1978 montage is called 110 Male Asses, and I've enlarged a few segments below.

 

No Hiding

This is No Hiding from 1979.

 

Cowboy

Although mild compared to some of Gerhardt Liebmann's work,

this cowboy has a definite bondage theme.

 

Floating Man

Although it looks like the model is falling, Gerhard Liebman titled our closing image Floating Man.

 

Jacques Lalaing Day

Let's kick off another day devoted to Anglo-Belgian sculptor 

Jacques Lalaing with a selfie he took of himself shirtless.

 

Wrestling

My source says the model here is wrestling with a mannequin.

Note the drawn on grid used for enlarging.

 

Balance

That looks like a sword or fencing foil balanced across the models limbs.

Disclosure:  I removed severe yellowing and increased the contrast.

 

Not easy

It couldn't have been easy to balance on that incline for any length of time,

so it was probably fortunate that Mr. Lalaing photographed the pose .

 

Duo

A pair of sword wielding models makes this one a bit special.

 

Equestrian

Mr. Lalaing completed a number of equestrian statues in his noteworthy career,

and the fixture in this study is probably a substitute for a horse.

 

Bad Quality

Despite my having reduced yellowing and added a clarifying filter, the quality here 

is pretty bad.  I am including it to show a model standing beside the unfinished 

piece for which he posed,  something I always seem to find interesting.

 

Elegant Chair

For this one Jacques Lalaing posed a model on an elegant chair atop a piece of furniture 

or a small platform.  I'd love to know what sort of sculpture this was used for.

Art

Closing the set with a quickly made Lalaing study that has artistic appeal on two levels.

First, the lighting is subtle but effective, and second, the model's pose is pure art itself.

AMG

I don't know what that thing is that Bob Heppe is lounging on, but it appears again later today.

 

Beach

I really like this color shot of Bob squatting on a beach.

 

With Tommy Cutchins I

In the first of two AMG photos of Bob Heppe with Tommy Cutchins today, we get a double derriere.

 

Robert

For some reason HRM labeled this photo "Robert" instead of Bob.

 

Basking

Bob Heppe seems to be basking in the sun in this AMG picture.

 

With Tommy Cutchins II

Cowboy Bob

Bob Heppe posed as a cowboy for this one.

 

Flip side

Here's the flip side of a pose in an AMG photo earlier in today's set.

 

Rock

Closing out Bob Heppe day with him climbing onto a rock.
