Synopsis

As a visual record of youthful male ambitions, the photographs of David Hurles vibrate with self-assurance and dangerous sexuality. Hurles, whose own history, recounted in this book, resonates with this same kind of gutter intensity as the images he created, began documenting drifters, grifters, and hustlers -- men from America's hard underbelly -- in the 1970s, through his legendary company Old Reliable. Hurles' style was unmistakable, downplaying technical polish in favor of the unvarnished emotional truth of his muscular, tattooed subjects. His ability to communicate with his models helped him elicit erotic presentations that no other photographer of his era could capture consistently. Outcast tells two fascinating stories -- that of a determined gay artist who pioneered the dark mirror image of the "tasteful," artistic male nude; and a mosaic portrait of backstreet America via a group of anonymous young men who drifted into his life and before his camera, to briefly entertain and excite gay men before vanishing.

A propos du livre

Présentation de l'éditeur

For more than forty years David Hurles documented the exotic and forbidden world of male hustlers. Credited as ''Old Reliable'', Hurles's photographs were ubiquitous fixtures in gay publications in the 70s and 80s and continue to enjoy a strong following today. This new collection, with over 50 never-before-seen images, documents the youthful male ambitions of California's less fortunate, handsome and talented men - the drifters, grifters and hustlers from America's hard underbelly - a volume that vibrates with self-assurance and dangerous sexuality.
