A coolly minimalist aesthetic with a retro nostalgia, inside the lives of small town youth, athletic, young men from rural Pennsylvania. Real wrestler baseball gymnast athletes. Wessel & OConnor presented 35 works by 35 artists, including Luke Smalley, who gave the honor of their gallery to exhibit their gay art o n Saturday, October 10, 2020, almost 35 years to the day of their first gallery opening in Rome Italy on Octover 12, 1985.

The teenage athletes in Luke Smalley's pictures seem inhabitants of some time or place other than th. E northwestern Pennsylvania towns where the photographer photographed them; published here for the first time. His pictures are part August Sander and part Diane Arbus - funny, sexy, nostalgic, almost heroic. Reminiscent of a Bruce Weber or Greg Gorman project in many respects.

While Weber often makes the kind of commercial prattle unleashed in his ever popular softcore Abercrombie and Fitch catalogs. This book reminds me of Andy Minsker and The Chop Suey Club beauty Peter Johnson. Or Like a Moth to a Flame. David Skrivanek (sic erron) by Jim French. Of candid young men, toned lean lithe sports team athletes. Anachronistic, turn-of-the-century visions of an idyllic arcadia b. Y using spontinaety and organic environments, while at the same time embracing a classic perfectionism not unlike that of Robert Mapplethorpe or Herbert List - a balance that often leaves his work looking prosaic, but gives his images the focus and intensity demonstrated by a true master at the top of his game.

Like the work of Larry Clark, it is about the kid first. It is the serene moment between the photographer and the male beauty which imbues the photographs with a fierce vitality.

The Sepia duotone sensuality of them seems familiar, their gaze immediate and direct, yet their other worldly quality remains a product of the artist's unique vision. No telephone or television seems possible in this not-quite familiar landscape.

For ten years the photographer painstakingly coordinated the creation of nostalgia, often making his own athletic equipment, props, and costumes of period vintage sports gear uniforms. Original, collectible vintage photographs, unique books of photography; famous and infamous photographers, and rare Magazines of the era; Heartland vernacular, antique original classics.

Ed Cervone "Three Sailor's". Or perhaps Patrick Angus' Hanky Panky - set in an adult peep show movie house. Darold Perkins has taken an Arrow Shirt ad and turned it into an ad instead. Next in the Drawings and Prints category we particularly love Paul Cadmus; the explicit Andy Warhol drawings -- he wasn't Tom of Finland.... But much more than Campbell's Tomato Soup We offer modern firsts, original photography, the arts, and gay erotica.
