Description Photo art by ArtGraeco from the Histoires D'Hommes seriesHistoires D'Hommes, homage to the early 80s, late 70s and vintage male erotica, confronts policing of male sexuality in art and appropriates pornography as a creative platform through mostly erotic, highly suggestive, somewhat explicit, barely hardcore gay porn imagery. Histoires D'Hommes explores erotic depictions of the male nude, catching an ideal lovers moment, capturing a passionate feeling, a deep longing. As multi-layered entities, the images acquire the uncertainty of memory, the imprecision of fantasy, the contortion of dreams and the frill of nostalgia.
