Vincent says: "I cried twice. Leddick brings forth the past into the present in a homage to gay life that has come and gone - was it ever so simple? "Handsomest Man" is a quick read - something great for the pool or beach - gay or straight you will bond with the characters and be swept away into a love story (watch out for the ending)that we all have had (or hope to have.) What "My Worst Date" said about the '90s, "Handsomest Man" does the same for the '50s."

A remarkable sequel to the Lambda award-winning Naked Men: Pioneering Male Nudes 1900-1950, Naked Men, Too, exposes the breakthrough nude male photography and art that changed the perception of male beauty. Focusing on the work of influential photographers such as George Platt Lynes, Robert Mapplethorpe, Harriet Leibowitz, and Bruce Weber, author David Leddick chronicles the visual revolution that paralleled social and sexual liberation since the late 1950's. With brief biographies of the models, including early renegades like Yves St. Laurent, Joe Dallesandro, Rupert Everett and more-this provocative book features reproductions of the original photos alongside portraits of the models today. This dynamic history of male nudity in art and advertising is for all audiences, gay and straight.
