Of Art and Men

A lavish hardcover with 72 color plates of sensuous male nudes by Jordan Mejias.The art of the Nyuorican artist Jordan Mejias is of a contemporary beauty that draws its strength and authenticity from history. Look around and you find traces of Greek and Roman sculpture, of the muscular curves of a Michelangelo and some transgressive parts of underground magazines from the hedonistic mid-century California of a Bob Mizer. Caravaggio meets Egon Schiele, John Singer Sargent, Robert Mapplethorpe. Past and present, swirled together in an art of dizzying sensuality, have merged into a homoerotic dynamic that fires up our actual consciousness. If you need a short formula, try this one: Michelangelo + Mizer = Mejias.
