J.C. Leyendecker Sports Numbers
As promised, today I'm doing a series of J.C. Leyendecker's sports themed work.
We start the show with a drop dead handsome and well built rower.
And that's a close to a full on frontal nude as he ever seems to have gone. Mr. Leyendecker studied in Paris for a time, so I keep hoping sone academic nudes show up, but nothing so far.
I love how he's subtly rendered glans corona with just a highlight

DeleteThis period regularly produces remarkable displays of the corona structure through damp flannel shorts.
DeleteYou have a good eye.
DeleteWonderful piece all around!
Wow. I suspect many young men of the time rather liked this.
ReplyDeleteYes, and many more men of any age seem to like this in modern times.
DeleteYup. They have become timeless.
DeleteIt's fascinating to see his left sleeve very obviously pushed back as though to dare you with the nipple.
ReplyDeleteYes, another subtle subtext.
DeleteI thought all of his men in art were modeled after his lover-Dee Exx
ReplyDeleteSome, but not all. There was at least one actor who posed for him as well as others.
DeleteThanks-Dee Exx
ReplyDeleteNo problem, Dee.
