MALE ART

No. 2

THE CONTINENTALS

Fall 1966

In this edition of MALE ART devoted to THE CONTINENTALS, we are proud to bring to the art-minded public a representation of the fine work that emanates from the European studios of JAN EYCK. Mr. Eyck’s photography is noted for its brilliance, clarity and complete embodiment of its subjective material. Here you will sec the finest models of continental Europe photographed with keen insight and imagination. In them also you will find the spirit of an art which is personified by a completely masculine approach in both pose and mood.

Knowing how well these master-studies of photographic art may inspire the student we have purposely included an article on how to get the most worthwhile results in using them as models .There is also another article describing in detail the Male Torso as a preface to Mr. Eyck’s most brilliant camera-interpretations in a special section devoted to the subject. We are pleased to be instrumental in bringing forth this superb collection and sincerely hope it will provide inspiration and give ambition to all who are interested in the true art of the male physique.

THE CONTINENTALS

volume four

featuring

The Camera Art of Europe’s Great Physique Photographers

Life is a constant search for one thing or another. When our search for food, clothing and the other necessities of life are complete we allow ourselves the luxury of indulgence. Then the search starts over once more as we try to satisfy our desires for the rare, the beautiful, the exotic, the appealing to the physical sense of the optical or aural nature in man. It once again is the pleasure of your editor and publishers to welcome our readers to the fruits of our latest search in the realm of the artistic efforts of great photographers to perpetuate through the magic of their cameras the beauty and magnificence that man has found in the human form. With this, then, as our theme we welcome you to the latest volume of THE CONTINENTALS, and may the joy of the beholder rest in all your eyes.

The Publishers.

Printed in a convenient and durable form on high-quality paper, the magazine will constantly strive to bring before the eyes of the reading public the works of outstanding artists of the brush and camera.

The relative artistic sterility made necessary by an increasingly efficient and businesslike society presents a genuine challenge to the artist and art lover. It is in response to this challenge that we are publishing Art and Form. If through our efforts we can extend the horizon of understanding of and appreciation for the human form only a little, then our basic purpose will be achieved. Welcome to an experience which was the flower of the Renaissance and the glory of Greece and Rome!

HERO STUFF!

The plain man is the basic clod
From which we grow the demi-god:
And in the average man is curled
The hero stuff that rules the world!

These powerful words by Sam Walter Foss keynote the purpose of Demi-Gods. While Muscle Builder and Mr. America bring to Mr. Foss’ “basic clod” the technical side of bodybuilding, we believe that a physique pictorial such as Demi-Gods will better serve to focus in his mind’s eye the type of muscular ideal possible to a man of his specific bone structure and height. And what a wealth of physique ideals we shall present! Here in Demi-Gods the “average man” of Mr. Foss’ lines will discover outstanding young bodybuilders of his own physique type who will inspire him to heights of muscular greatness. Whether he is by nature the Herculean, Davidean or Apollonian type, he will find in Demi-Gods those who have made the most of their physical heritage . . . demi-gods who have reached the pinnacle of physique fame, each in his own way, and symmetrically, in accordance with his natural gifts and limitations. With the availability of bodybuilding techniques taught so brilliantly in Muscle Builder and Mr. America magazines — with the assurance that in every man are godlike possibilities of which he may be presently unaware — and with pictorial inspiration ever before him in Demi-Gods, he holds the key to muscular greatness. In such a man, as Mr. Foss tells us, “is curled the hero stuff that rules the world.”

We welcome the opportunity of pointing the way.

Today

an editorial and a statement of policy

Welcome to a new magazine: A magazine with Today as its guiding spirit.

Each issue we will bring you the cream of the new-photographs by the three leading physique photographers of Today: Bob Delmonteque, Vulcan and Russ Warner. We will bring you photo stories of how they work, and biographical information on I heir models.

We will also have an Art Section devoted to the great physique painters of Today. We are happy to have Christopher inaugurate this department. As you look at all these pictures, with their labor and their art, we hope you’ll have fun, and be inspired, too. Fun, because the best of anything should be fun — a concert, literature, the theatre — and inspired because example must encourage emulation.

Thus we come to the practical side of inspiration. Too many young men are denied the opportunity of turning their inspiration into fine bodies for themselves. They are far from an accessible gym, or they are not able to make the heavy investment required for home equipment. It is with great pride that FIZEEK announces the exclusive rights to world famous Physical Educator and TV star Jack LaLanne’s SET-O-MATIC System of home exercises. This series, plus its nutritional guidance, will enable anyone to duplicate, in his own home and without costly equipment. all of the body-building secrets of the physique stars of Today. For it is Today, the here and now, that is imperative. Never mind Greece; never mind Rome: Precedent must remain just that. Parallels can be accepted; the boy in the toga becomes the boy in polished cotton, the gladiator in the arena becomes the sports star in the stadium; and he is none the less worthy, splendid and urgent for it. This is our time, and we speak in our tongue: Let us glory-in it.

Owing to that old cliche, “circumstances beyond our control, ” the 3rd issue of A.A. was horribly fated. So please do not request it, when ordering any back numbers. Numbers One and Two though are still available in limited quantity.

The welcome news is that A.A. will now be on a regular quarterly schedule and is one of a family of twelve outstanding and individually different publications in the physique-and-health field.. The titles in the Physique Press group:

American Apollo; Samson; Physiques Speak; Manhattan Man; Trojan; Olympians; Thor; Young Man; Goliath; Jason; The Argonauts;’ Gladiator.

Being that Physique Press will be dedicated to bringing something entirely new and refreshing into the physique and health field, readers will learn that each of our titles is individual by itself. Whether it’s humor or something on the more serious side, or an occasional blending of various ingredients (as in this issue of A.A.), there is something for everyone!

PHYSIQUE PHOTOGRAPHY

Volume One.

An Album of the world’s finest photographs of the male physique.

Designed and produced by :

LON of New York in LONDON Physique Photography Studios, London, England.

Edited by : Domenique.

Artist: David Angelo.

Man’s World Publishing Company LTD.,
The Manor House, Worcester Park, Surrey, England

Introduction.

Art is many things — painting, sculpture, dancing, drama, writing, and more recently photography. At first a novelty of science, the camera has become in the hands of the skilled a means of spiritual expression — the noblest task of any artist. This expression is a reflection of his age, and today this means an age when terror stares us in the face, when the awful power of man’s science has gone beyond his moral and intellectual development—an age when the world’s young men have been called upon over and over again to lace bloody death — an age when men must find new confidence and a purer pride.

For the artist, whether he uses words, or brushes, or camera, the task is to capture some of the richness and beauty of man himself — to return briefly to the ideals of civilisation’s “golden ages” — when man was himself the inspiration both in mind and in body for the existence of life. We hope in this volume lies the proof dial this task is being accomplished by some artists throughout the world.

The life of a sailor is often lacking in excitement, but never in appeal. A sailor by his very nature is struggling against the elements whether they be sea or weather. For this reason a sailor must have a husky and rugged physique to meet the challenge that he encounters every day of his life. Even when ashore he finds it hard to let up and finds companionship with his buddies with whom he has shared so many of the perils of his shipboard life.

For all his virility, his massive chest and powerful biceps, he is at heart a tender and sensitive individual who can express himself in his off hours by painting or needlework. Versatility is therefore a prime requisite of any seafaring man.

A letter from the publisher

Every young man is the builder of a temple -his body. On this note, GO-GUYS invites you to join us, quarterly, for a picture of the architects of these temples, the youth of America. On the pages of GO-GUYS, four times a year, we will offer you pictures of young men that show both their serious and entertaining sides. What they are thinking about, where they are going, what they are doing. GO-GUYS believes that one of the secrets of staying young is to think young. It is devoted to the up and coming physique personalities of today. We, also, honor yesterday’s stars, because they light the sparkle of admiration in the eyes of today’s youth. And youth is the vibrant muscle of all time. The Greeks idealized it; and the Romans worshipped it. Even today, America’s strength and well-being depend on its young men, and we intend to give them the recognition that is their due. This is an age of miracles and youth is the time of miracles. The miraculous achievements of tomorrow will come from the youth of today-they are the driving force of humanity.

In the pages of GO-GUYS, we will bring you vivid color illustrations of the young physique stars who are making today’s news. The contents will abound with brilliant action shots of these young men in motion. Entertaining and colorful pictorial stories of everyday situations will reveal the light as well as the more serious nature of our young stars.
The format of GO-GUYS should inspire American youth to strive for perfection in mind, body, and spirit. It is their duty to develop healthy, well-rounded personalities as they shape their temples for country and self. And it is our responsibility to encourage them to these goals.

These are our aims and we welcome you, our readers, to be a GO-GUY by keeping up with the current trends in physical culture and supporting us in our campaign for a better youth of tomorrow and today.

Walter Konrad.

Sailors from the beginning of time have been portrayed in story and song and in art as being virile and muscular. Now we arc able to see the sailor through the eye of the camera, and this issue of Ahoy is dedicated to all those modern adonis of the deep who now patrol the seas in atomic submarines to maintain the freedom of the Western world. Here we can see the power and the definition that hard work and dedication to exercise can do, not only for the navy man but for all who want to follow his example. Here are your favourite bodybuilders in nautical poses.
