ANTHONY GAYTON

In this stunning collection of homoerotic images, noted photographer Anthony Gayton presents a provocative body of work based on the history of gay culture. Inspired by sources as diverse as mythology, renaissance and baroque painting and early photography, his pictures are always highly stylized and masterfully composed. Whether painterly images of bacchanals, straightforward evocations of Hollywood beefcake from the 1940s and 1950s, or sepia-toned allusions to Victorian nudes, these rich and varied images celebrate the iconography of the male throughout history.
