The End


The last image in the set is from 1987, a bit past my usual time limit.   Mr. Coplans kept making these nude self portraits well into the 1990s, and they can be found on line if you are interested.

    1. I found an article about his background. His heritage was Jewish, but he called himself a "Jewish atheist."

  4. I found out about him a couple of years ago. I find this fascinating to see again because he challenged ageist standards in our culture. A most interesting man. Thanks for this one Jerry.
