Description: VINTAGE Rare JIM FRENCH “MEN” Legendary Male Nude Photographer Coffee Table Book ー Jim French (born James Thomas French, July 14, 1932 – June 16, 2017) was an American artist, illustrator, photographer, filmmaker, and publisher. He is best known for his association with Colt Studio which he, using the pseudonym Rip Colt, (and with business partner Lou Thomas) created in late 1967. Thomas parted from the endeavor in 1974 leaving French to continue to build what would become one of the most successful gay male erotica companies in the U.S. French left a legacy of homoerotic images in artwork, illustrations, photo sets, slides, film, fine-art photographs, magazines, books and calendars that presented his work exclusively and set a new standard in photography of men. French began drawing and photographing male erotica in the mid-1960s while working as an illustrator and artist for Madison Avenue advertising agencies. French's artwork and photography has been hailed as “iconic, groundbreaking, and singularly influential.” Victor Skrebneski writes in his introduction to the monograph, Opus Deorum: "Jim French, master photographer, demonstrates controlled intensity and passion for his work. His images bridge time, lock memory, fire provocation. That is his art." ー Models featured in this book: JOHN PRUITT, KONA 1984 DAVE LASH, BELAIR 1983 KEN MARX, STUDIO 1985 JOHN PRUITT, BELAIR 1985 BUCK HAYES, HOLLY WOOD HILLS 1985 ERIK KING, HOLLY WOOD HILLS 1989 SERGE DOVECK, STUDIO 1990 KEN MARX, STUDIO 1985 ADAM HAMMER, STUDIO 1981 MARTY PACE, STUDIO 1980 JOHN PRUITT, PALM SPRINGS 1990 TOM MELVILLE, STUDIO 1987 JODY MILLER, STUDIO 1988 KEVIN WALKER, STUDIO 1986 RAYMOND VANDEN HEVEL/NEIL TRUBUHOVICH, STUDIO 1990 ERIK KING, HOLLY WOOD HILLS 1990 ED DINAKOS/JAKE TANNER, BELAIR 1989 NICK CHASE, STUDIO 1979 OWEN MOORE, BELAIR 1989 SONNY LORD/DAN STOVE, HOLLY WOOD HILLS 1982 DEVLIN, STUDIO 1980 ALAN ALBERT, FIRE ISLAND 1968 SERGE DOVECK, MONTECITO 1990 BOB BENEDETTI, HOLLY WOOD 1971 PETER JOSHUA, BENEDICT CANYON 1981 GARY WEISS, STUDIO 1988 MIKE TIMBER, HOLLY WOOD HILLS 1990 GORDON GRANT, MONUMENT VALLEY 1978 JURGEN BECK, STUDIO 1989 JOHN PRUITT, HOLLY WOOD HILLS 1990 RICK WOLFMIER, BELAIR 1981 MARK GAMBLE, STUDIO 1985 RICK WOLFMIER, STUDIO 1982 JOHN PRUITT, PALM SPRINGS 1990 BARRY BROOKS, BELAIR 1990 BEAU WARLICK, STUDIO 1988 BUD CARLIN, BELAIR 1988 ERIK KING, HOLLY WOOD HILLS 1990 KEVIN BOYD, STUDIO 1990 DEVLIN, HOLLY WOOD HILLS 1980 KYLE JESSUP, MONTECITO 1989 NICK CHASE, STUDIO 1978 ROGER HICKOCK, BELAIR 1984 JESSE DITMAR, HOLLY WOOD HILLS 1983 ERIK KING, STUDIO 1990 JAKE TANNER, STUDIO 1990 SCOOTER, STUDIO 1986 BRAD SLANE, HOLLY WOOD HILLS 1988 JOHN PRUITT, HOLLY WOOD HILLS 1990 ROGER CALLARD/JIM MORRIS, VASQUEZ ROCKS 1972
