I posted a photo of Jack Conant in a recent Kovert of Hollywood series, and immediately got a request for a full series on this great model. All my nudes seem to be by Kovert, and you may notice that Jack's hair ranges from very brunette here to very blonde in some of his AMG work later in the set.
Tony Samson's is still #1 but this man is up near the top. Nice light oil job, makes nice little shiny spots on his shoulder, hip, and calf.
ReplyDeleteJack was a great model. I only wish I knew more about him.
DeleteJerry: Did you ever learn when Jack Conant was born.? And when or at what age he began to model for male physique photographers.?
DeleteNo. There are surprisingly many men with similar names to his.
DeleteBob Mizer's earliest photos appeared in 1942. He apprenticed with Fred Kovert. I have a theory that the photo of Jack Conant with bleached blond hair was made in the 1942-1945 period of time. That would have meant JACK was born 1924 to 1927 and he was just a few years younger than Bob Mizer. I do not think JACK could have been born later than 1929.
DeleteHi Jerry. I suggested a Jack Conant series and you've certainly come up with the goods ... and some! Really good mix of photos of this handsome man. I agree with Big Dude that he's definitely up near the top. Thanks again.
