MALE NUDE: "ATHLETE WITH WHITE SOCK" COLOR PHOTOGRAPH BY KURT DEITRICK

Los Angeles, CA: Kurt Deitrick Studios, 1986. First Edition. First Printing.. Softcover. As New/No Dust Jacket, As Issued.. Los Angeles, CA: Kurt Deitrick Studios, 1986. Softcover. As New/None, As Issued. First Edition/First Printing. 1 pages. Rare Kurt Deitrick and male erotic photography collectible item. An original vintage color photographic print of an unidentified blond athlete, as photographed by Kurt Deitrick. It is one of Deitrick's most (inadvertently) inspired male nudes ever. The print is considerably larger, at 5 X 7 inches, and is encased in a protective plastic sheet. It shows the handsome, hirsute yet clean-cut model in one of Deitrick's single most beautiful images. It is a conventional nude pose, except for one brilliant touch: His right foot is raised and his white sock is visible. It is unconscious on the part of the photographer that a male nude which shows a sock (just one, not the pair) alludes to two erotic elements: The single-letter difference between "sock" and "cock" and the almost-identical sound of "sock" and "suck". All three words have multiple meanings, the sexual ones being slang. This is not a digital print or a later, contemporary print but was printed directly from the original negatives in the 1980's, at the time of first publication. Beautifully developed, with great clarity and warm tones, on Kodak Photographic Paper. This is the genuine article, an absolute "must-have" collectible, not just memorabilia, item for Kurt Deitrick and male erotic art photography collectors. This original vintage color photographic print is now collectible. As far as we know, this is the only copy of the print available online, is eminently suitable for framing, and is in especially fine condition: Clean, crisp, and bright. A rare copy thus. One of the best American male-nude images of the 20th century. A fine print. (SEE ALSO OTHER KURT DEITRICK TITLES IN OUR CATALOG).
