Ce commentaire fait référence à cette édition : Locker Room Nudes: Dieux De Stade The Rugby Players of Stade Francais Paris and Their Guests (Relié)
The extraordinarily beautiful and lavishly produced calendars and videodiscs that have come out year by year of photography, of supremely fine calibre, of the rugby players who are members of the team, Dieux du Stade, Paris, and of their "guests", i.e. other rugby players from teams all over the world, have become iconographic monuments of the nude and nearly-nude male body. However, this book, drawing upon the wealth of photos and stills from the videos, perhaps inlucding yet other images as well of the same and perhaps other men, surpasses even previous products.
This book is gorgeous; it is overwhelming; it is an exalted tribute to the male body and to the god-like figure of the professional athlete. There is something almost supernatural at times in the supernal beauty and naturalness, as Rousseau captures them for immortality, of these varied and magnificent men that makes one tremble, not just with sexual arousal (but that, too, and how!), but with wonder at the sheer grace, strength, and allure of the male human form and of the photographer's art.
Judging from the copyrights, which are given up to 2007, well in the future at the time of the book's publication, one presumes that there are images and probably players, too, not yet included in the videodiscss and calendars that have come out to date. Some of these male rugby players have appeared naked in photographs in other publications, some of the images different from what is in this book. Well, given their extraordinary sexiness and beauty, these guys should serve as photographic modes as long as their youthful allure lasts. Who would begrudge them the added income and royalties? Not most of those who purchase this book!
This is a lavish book and more than well worth its price, a fine monographic tribute to the photographer, Francois Rousseau, as well as to such men who, astoundingly, have been permitting themselves to be photographed so intimately. There is little written text, so whether the buyer is English- or French-speaking (or of any other language), the book will be a worthwhile purchase for truly anyone, anywhere in the world. Women and gay men will thrill at these photos, but so will lovers more generally of the nude in art of Rousseau's level as he has attained it with the camera! Some of these athletes have posed naked or nearly nude in photographs in some high-class glossy magasines, including in photos that are not included elsewhere. Who would begrudge these stunningly handsome young men the added income and royalties from such photo-sessions? Not the writer of these lines!
