Ads - Part 63

 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.
