Artists & Models.

Eleven original gelatin silver prints, 2 1/2" x 4" (approx 6cm X 10cm). All pictures VG in good brown die-cut envelop that shows some creasing.� Includes one 3 1/2" x 11" folded (approx. 9cm by 28cm) "lesson". Lacking one of the original "12 pix" originally included. The distinction between artist's studies and pornography has always been a subject of debate -- often influenced by cultural, legal, and subjective perspectives. Generally marketed at a time when going to jail for violating the Comstock Law was very real, "artist's studies" aimed to explore and represent the human form for educational and aesthetic purposes. As we all know, pornography seeks to elicit sexual arousal. Or at least we "know it when we see it", right? This is what I love about vintage cheesecake smut, especially the pictures / magazines packaged and sold as "artist's studies".� This example even includes a fold-out -- "lesson number three" -- "for artists, photographers, art students, sculptors and professional models.not to be sold to minors or other than the above [mentioned]. Scarce -- I've never seen another instance.

Store Description

My name is Jim Camp, and I own and operate the synaesthesia press. First and foremost, the synaesthesia press is a very small, very independent publishing house specializing in broadsides and chapbooks letterpress printed in a small run. Authors and artists past published include Tosh Berman, Tim O?Brien, Barry Gifford, Charles Bukowski, and Charles Plymell, among others. As a bookseller, I offer a variety of inventory -- I especially love stuff that is considered generally subversive; for example, anything by or about Beatniks, Outlaws, Perverts, Weirdos, and Outsiders; good literary fiction (especially "dirty" and / or forgotten titles by forgotten authors) and almost anything by or about Bukowski. I love photography, especially found amateur snapshots and professionally made vintage photographic prints; little mags, zines, photo books, art books and Artists Books; and, finally, anything smutty or sleazy or erotic or cheesecake-related vintage publications, photos or ephemera. Thanks!
