All great photos. The second to last one looks sort of like Jacques Brel (but I do not think it is).

Born in Switzerland in 1924, Robert Frank is an American photographer and documentary filmmaker. His 1958 book, The Americans, has been called "perhaps the most influential photography book of the 20th century." Frank later expanded into film and video and experimented with manipulating photographs and photomontage. His 1972 documentary of the Rolling Stones, Cocksucker Blues, unreleased and infrequently shown, is, nonetheless, arguably his most famous film.

Rudolf Koppitz

In the Lap of Nature, self-portrait, 1923

 

Born in Austrian Silesia in what is now the Czech Republic, the work of Rudolf Koppitz (1884–1936) is marked by a pronounced awareness of form, line, and the surface play of light and shadow. Koppitz was a leading representative of art photography in Vienna between the world wars, and is best known for his works of the human figure and his use of the nude in natural settings.

Weegee

 

Known for stark black and white street photography (it feels like film noir in still images), Weegee (Arthur Fellig, 1899-1968) worked in Manhattan as a press photographer during the 1930s and 1940s. It was there he developed his signature style by following the city's emergency services and documenting their activity. Much of his photography depicted scenes of urban life, crime, injury and death, although there is a substantial body of work beyond this realm.

He did not seem to live a very long life. However my math is not very good.

Alvin Baltrop

Alvin Baltrop (1948-2004) was an African-American photographer who gained fame for his photographs of the Hudson River piers during the 1970s and 1980s. Born in the Bronx, he received no formal art education; older photographers from the neighborhood taught him different techniques and how to develop photos himself. Baltrop enlisted in the Navy as a medic during the Vietnam War and continued taking photos, mainly of his friends in sexually provocative poses. Later, he worked odd jobs as a street vendor, a jewelry designer, a printer and a cab driver. Because he wanted to spend more time taking photos at the Hudson River piers, he quit his job as a cab driver to become a self-employed mover. He parked his van at the piers for days at a time, living out of it to take pictures, and capturing the gay hookup culture of New York City before the AIDS epidemic. His life work is a snapshot of gay, African-American and New York City history. In 2015, the Spanish publisher TF Editores published Alvin Baltrop: The Piers edited by James Reid, Tom Watt, and Glenn O'Brien.

Roy Blakey

 

http://www.icestagearchive.com/images/thumbs/No.0-Keri'sRoyPic.jpg

 

Born in 1930, Roy Blakey currently lives in Minneapolis, where he works as a commercial photographer and shares a studio space with his niece, photographer Keri Pickett. His first book of photographs, HE, was a collection of male nudes which he self-published in 1972. He is a former professional figure skater who toured for many years with Holiday on Ice, and is the founder and curator of The IceStage Archive, the preeminent private collection of rare ephemera and memorabilia documenting the colorful history of theatrical skating. Blakey traces his interest in photography back to his army days in the 1950s. In contrast to other physique photographers, he distinguished himself by classically posing his models in compositions, dramatically lit, revealing the male nude against a seamless void.

Published in 1972, HE was a groundbreaking book. Male nudes had by then appeared in other photography books, but always alongside female nudes. Blakey’s book, devoted solely to male nudes, stood in stark relief.

Irving Penn (1917 – 2009) was an American photographer best known for his fashion photography, but he also made portraits of creative greats; ethnographic photographs from around the world; Modernist still lifes of food, bones, bottles, metal, and found objects; and photographic travel essays. He was among the first photographers to pose subjects against a simple gray or white backdrop.

Thanks MB. These pic are amazing. It is interesting to note that the originals seem to be in Elton John's collection. Also, doesn't Willem de Kooning look a little like an elder Paul Newman. I can't imagine anyone upset about having that said about them.

Alexander Gardner

 

Visiting The Great Exhibition in 1851 in Hyde Park, London, Scottish-born Alexander Gardner (1821-1882) admired the photography of American Mathew Brady. Gardner and his family immigrated to the United States in 1856. He initiated contact with Brady and went to work for him that year, continuing until 1862. At first, Gardner specialized in making large photographic prints, called Imperial photographs, but he is now best known for his photographs of the Civil War, Abraham Lincoln and the execution of the conspirators to Lincoln's assassination.

The Ritter Brothers, photographed by George Platt Lynes

 

In the 1930s, Fred and William Ritter, brothers who lived in Astoria, New York, advertised physique photographs in fitness magazines like Strength & Health. In their home and outdoors, they shot images of themselves and men they recruited from local gyms. It was the Ritter brothers who paved the way for other photographers of adult male nudes to advertise their images in American magazines and newspapers until the late 1940's, when the United States Postal Inspection Service forced the owners of Strength & Health and other physique magazines to stop carrying these ads or lose the right to ship their magazines through the mail.

Born in St. Petersburg to a Baltic nobleman and the daughter of an American minister to Russia, Baron George Hoyningen-Huene (1900-1968) was a seminal fashion photographer of the 1920s and 30s. He was chief of photography for French Vogue, before moving to New York, where he worked primarily for Harper's Bazaar. He later relocated to Hollywood, earning a living by shooting glamour portraits and working in the film industry in various capacities -- for example, as a visual and color consultant for the 1954 Judy Garland version of A Star Is Born.

Horst P. Horst

 

Born in Germany as Horst Paul Albert Bohrmann, Horst P. Horst (1906-1999) moved to Paris in 1930 to study architecture alongside Le Corbusier. There he met photographer George Hoyningen-Huene (see the previous post, and the image of Horst that GH-H took in 1931). Horst became Hoyningen-Huene's photographic assistant, occasional model and lover, later establishing himself as a noted fashion photographer in his own right. Fascinated by Ancient Greek sculpture and design, he depicted his models like statuesque muses often framed by arches and pillars in atmospheric and sophisticated compositions. His first exhibition took place at La Plume d'Or in Paris in 1932. It was reviewed in The New Yorker and made Horst instantly famous. He made a portrait of Bette Davis that same year, the first of many celebrity photographs. In 1941, Horst applied for United States citizenship as "Horst P. Horst." Two years later, he joined the Army, and became an Army photographer. In 1945 he photographed President Harry Truman, with whom he became friends, and subsequently photographed every First Lady of the post-war period at the request of the White House. Horst is best known for his photographs of women and fashion, but also recognized for his still lifes and photographs of interior architecture. In older age, he produced a number of male nudes.
