Leslie-Lohmann Museum

Today's posts are all from the collection of the Leslie-Lohmann Museum in New York.

If anyone knows who sculpted the nude torso above, please comment.

 

Goh Mishima

This 1968 piece by Goh Mishima is more restrained than most of his work.

 

Duane Michals

This 1973 Duane Michals photo is captioned "It seemed inevitable that he should be here.  

In spite of everything it had happened, and he had permitted it to happen."

 

1950s Unknown I

A number of excellent art pieces from the 1950s joined the Leslie-Lohmann via a bequest.

The work above is among about a dozen by the same unknown artist.

 

Ted Garrison

This is Perchance to Dream by Ted Garrison from 1925.

 

Frank Hallam

Here we see Acrobat and Mural by Frank Hallam from 1980.

I think this was made at the Piers in New York.

 

Neel Bate

If the name Neel Bate sounds familiar, it may be because he posed for George Platt Lynes, and I have posted at least two of those photos.  Later on, he took up drawing under the name Blade.  I've only been able to find a few dozen of his drawings, and this one is from about 1980.

 

1950s Unknown II

Here's a second work by that unknown 1950s artist.

 

David Green

David Green photographed David and Earle in 1976.

 

Colt

Closing out the Leslie-Lohmann series with a mid-1960s Jim French drawing.  I believe 

he was calling his business Rip Colt at the time, but this is marked simply Colt.

 

Bruce in Color Day

It's Bruce in Color Day, and let's begin with Ray Robirds on that famous red tuffett.

 

Jim Glasper

Bruce took Jim Glasper out in the desert to take this one.

 

Johnny Stumps

That AMG Christmas themed photo shoot might be Johnny Stumps' 

best known work, but he looks pretty good here in color by Bruce.

 

Don Fuller and Pat Tracy

That's Don Fuller at right with Pat Tracy at left.

 

Fred Orlando

I've shown Fred Orlando in black and white before, so this might be a nice change.

 

Dick Dene

Here's a color shot from Dick Dene's memorable cowboy photo shoot with Bruce.

 

Tom Ramey

The tan lines nicely frame the package in this shot of Tom Ramey.

 

Jerry Debry and Robert Kendall

This color slide shows Jerry Debry and Robert Kendall.

 

Mike Norlan

If Mike Norlan looks familiar, it's because he also posed for Pat Rocco.

 

Carl Savoie

Finishing the Bruce in Color set with Carl Savoie and a red ball.

 

Topsy Turvy Day

It's topsy turvy day, and we start with a guy who is either lightly oiled or sweating.

 

Busy background

Somehow, the busy background doesn't distract me from the central concept of the photo.

 

Warwick?

Google says this might be those Warwick U. guys who constantly posed nude near water.

 

AMG

The location makes me think this is an AMG product, but I could be wrong.

I've been wrong lots and lots of times.

 

Getting there

Well, he isn't upside down yet, but he looks like he's getting there.

 

Nude Yoga

This guy is doing nude yoga in Amsterdam (where else?) in 1974.

 

Parallel Bars

Here we see a new and interesting version of a parallel bars gymnastic routine.

 

Splits

You don't see topsy turvy splits every day.

 

Tilt

This one looks like he might easily fall over.

 

Column help

Our closing picture is a bit of a cheat,

what with leaning on that column.
