Posters part 5
We continue our mini-series on ads in the form of posters featuring nude males. Today, posters from the 1960s through the 1990s. Above, a 1968 German poster for Andy Warhol's film Flesh.
A 1968 Soviet poster. The slogan says "The lord of the world will be labor."
A poster for the 1970 German film Dein Mann das unbekannte Wesen (The Sensual Male).
A Spanish poster for the 1976 film Sebastiane. The film, made in Britain by Derek Jarman, is about the life of St. Sebastian. The film was aimed at a gay audience. Critics found it controversial for its depiction of homoerotic behavior among the Roman soldiers, and for the fact that the film's dialog is entirely in Latin.
A 1980 poster for Eau Sauvage by Christian Dior.
A poster for the 1981 German film Das Boot (The Boat).
A poster for a 1991 Robert Mapplethorpe exhibition.
A 1992 AIDS poster by David McDiarmid.
A German poster for the 1992 American film Bad Lieutenant.
We end with a 1997 poster for an exhibition of the work of photographer Herb Ritts.
Next time: posters from 2000 to 2013.
