history of male nude photography 147

In 1962 the Supreme Court ruled that photographs of the male nude are not necessary offensive, this verdict didn't mean that now everything was possible. Some brave publishers printed first frontal nudes only in 1965. Walter Kundzicz's pictures marked the transition between the esthetic of the 1950's and hardcore and softcore of the 1970's. He published an incredible number of magazines (International Male Model Guide, Triple Pleasure, Hard and Able, Body and Soul, Deuce, Gay World, Male Tales, Naked Rhythm, Gemini, Gay Confessions, Nude Voyager...) bearing the signature of Champion Studio. Kundzicz retired definitively in 1985.
