John Palatinus : People From the Village

20 Oct-18 Nov 2012

Overview

John Palatinus is one of the few surviving leaders in the fight for the freedom to disseminate gay photography and art during the 1950’s and 60’s. He is a legendary photographer from an era now called the Golden Age of Physique Photography. At that time in America, it was illegal to send even seminude photographs through the U.S. Mail. Now, after more than half a century, his almost forgotten work has been re-discovered, thanks to the work of archivist and curator Alan Harmon. http://www.john-palatinus.com/exibitions_eu_london.htm
