Ah yeah, I’ve visited that page before, I think. The Trevor Watson photo is great, very hot.

Yes, smutty but the cover gets my vote.

I think there are a couple of gay photographers who’ve photographed penises in an elegant fashion but offhand I can’t think who they might be.

Thanks for the tip John. I watched a video re the book here:

Pretty smutty, I’m afraid. In a word, meat. Hardly the aesthetic approach that photographers take with the female nude. Or that Cary Kwok takes. Oh well, the search goes on. May have to get a camera out and do it myself one day…

In the meantime, these aren’t too bad:

Hi Roman, and thanks. I certainly agree with you about the beauty of the penis. Taschen has recently published The Big Penis Book which I'm still a bit dubious about since it seems to be mostly Seventies' porn shots. But I'll probably end up buying it anyway, if only for the splendid cover.

Well written, and so rare, I’m not gay but still happen to think that the erect penis is one of the most beautiful, iconic things in the natural world. Outside of Mapplethorpe and certain Japanese temples I have not really found any expressions of this and would like to know if there are others. The lovely lingam deserves a thick coffee table book of its own IMHO. Thanks for this.

huh. Jizz in a statue. fifteen million dollars for a sculpture of some guy blowing his wad and swinging it around.

And when you see a picture of a hot piece of a$$, it’s called pr0n.

Go figure.

That’s a good point re: the size of the sculpture, Callum, so I’ve added another picture which also includes his accompanying painting, Spring Liquid. I tried to find a picture of the latter on its own but without success.

I only discovered Murakami recently even though he’s been having big exhibitions for a while. That piece is one of many of his that plays with figures and images in anime to quite startling effect. Makes me think of William Burroughs’ Wild Boys more than anything. It’s meant to be (in that typical explanatory art world manner) some comment on the sexualisation of Japanese culture but, as you say, it has a magic all of its own whatever his original intention.

The educational thing works both ways with blogs, I find the process of putting these little posts together is teaching me a lot as well. And it’s great to pass on discoveries, as you know yourself.

Hey John, I loved this post. One of the best things about blogs generally and in particular yours and a very few others I visit on a daily basis, is their capacity for introducing you to new artists, authors, etc. etc. I loved that statue? Sculpture by Takashi Murakami which I hadn’t seen before so off I go to Google.

What your picture doesn’t quite convey however, is the scale of the thing. I’d kind of assumed that it was a ‘toy’ sized figure but there’s a picture of it on Murakami’s website showing him standing beside it and it’s lifesize!! certainly out of all the pictures you found, that’s the one that stands out for me as making come into something beautiful, in fact almost magical…
