Masculine Perfection
The always impressive Tony Sansone by Earl Forbes.
Back in my Tumblr days I posted many photos of this guy. Whenever I see one of his photos I'm reminded that Charles Atlas once called him the most beautiful man in the world.
Coming from Charles Atlas, that was one hell of a compliment. Mr. Atlas has been referred to himself as such by objective observers. If there are any full frontal nudes of Charles Atlas, I haven't been able to find them, and I've been looking for 20 years.
+ Il Sansone del firmamento italo-americano. Trionfante nell'era d'argento della fotografia fisica, la musa di Earle Forbes e Edwin Townsend a New York. L'epitome della bellezza maschile nell'era del jazz, era cosi elegante.
There must not be ANY bad shots of Mr. Sansone. But then, photographers had a lot to work with there.

ReplyDeleteLike you, I'm fairly certain I've never seen a frontal nude of Mr. Atlas.
