All Color Nudist Beach Day

Nudist publications not only pushed the boudaries for male frontal nudity in the 1960s, but they also pioneered the extensive use of color photography.  Today we look at ten examples of nudist males at the beach in color, starting with a man with a very cute little dachshund.

 

Sea shells

This guy is looking over a seashell collection.

 

Beefy

 

Overhang

Maybe this was made at a beach house, because I see a roof overhang at left.

Now that I look closer, that's not the only thing hanging over.

 

Handsome

This handsome guy brought a long his umbrella for some shade.

Skipper

Skipping rope on a beach is a great way to stay in shape.

 

Blond

This blond fellow appears in several 1960s nudist publications.

 

Paddler

Our last seaside nudist is a guy practicing paddling his inflatable while standing up.

 

Jerry Goes to the Getty I

I stopped off for two days in Los Angeles last month while on a trip to the Blue Ridge Mountains of Virginia.  I used the time to visit the Getty Museum, and today will be the first of three series I do on the male art there.  We start with Mercury by Johan Gregor van der Schart from 1575.

 

Bearded Man

Jacopo Bassano painted this portrait of an unknown beard man about 1550.

 

Dionysos Triumph

This is a fragement of a Roman piece excavated in 1720.  Read more below:

 

Furniture

Even the furniture gallery at the Getty had some fine looking males.

This cabinet was made by Andrew-Charles Boulle around 1667.

 

Francisco de los Cobos y Molina

I find this one to be quite handsome.  Read about it below:

 

Wilton's Belvedere

This is Joseph Wilton's 18th C. version of Apollo Belvedere.

 

Albert D'Anvers

This is Renoire's portrait of French composer Albert D'Anvers.

 

Laocoon and His Sons

 Here we see Laocoon and his sons from 1720 by Giovanni Battisti Foggini.

It's a table top statuette with incredible detail.

Sudanese Man

This is Sudanese Man by French sculptor Charles Cordier from 1856.

You really have to be there in person to appreciate the fine details

in everything from the skin tone to the folds of his clothing.

Several types of stone were used to incredible effect.

 

Angel of the Citadel

Just about anything you can think of is extended in Angel of the Citadel,

a 1949 sculpture by Marino Manini.  Yeah, I saved the strangest for last.

 

Happy New Year!

Wishing each and every one of you the very best in 2025!

 

New Year

Time for the annual New Years Eve edition of the blog, so away we go.

 

San Francisco

I think this one is from San Francisco in the 70s.

 

Happy Partiers

It's easy to tell that these guys are having a good time.

 

New Years Eve, the Movie - 1929

This is a scene from the 1929 movie New Years Eve

where the party turned into a murder mystery.

 

Strip poker?

This was in a group of party photos, but it looks like a game 

of strip poker where everybody lost . . . intentionally.

 

1900

It's 1900 here, and note the empty liquor bottles on the floor.

 

A pitcher too far

This is what happens when things go a bit too far.

 

1962

The Tonight Show, 1962.

 

Wild crowd

Quite the party going on here.
