Another photographic collection by Klaus Gerhart: Men Two. These photographs look well beyond the nudity to see beautiful muscles or sensuous shadows; there are facial expressions that reflect thought, or realism, or desire and not just self-consciousness. It's incredibly refreshing to see the nude treated with a real eye for form, shape and texture. This work is impressive! The theme is young athletic nude men, usually photographed in isolation against natural settings. Sometimes he photographs two men together, but mostly the men are alone and their shape is contrasted against nature such as showing the muscles of young man's legs against the twisted image of drift wood or the curves of a young man's butt against the sand dunes that mirror or repeat the same curves. Thus the photographer reveals his philosophy that male beauty is a natural phenomena to be enjoyed and viewed the same way that any beautiful object in nature may be viewed. Remember that in some cultures, people may admire trees, rocks, waves, clouds, insects, animals, and all manner of nature but the human form is viewed as forbidden, sinful, shameful and not to be admired for it evokes lust. The issue here is that Gerhart would probably say that lust is a natural phenomena, just the same as admiration for human beauty. Another clue as to the artistic philosophy of Gerhart is that the face is often not emphasized and more emphasis is placed on the body. This removes the photographs from the realm of portrait and recognizability. The human figures are sometimes dwarfed by the natural settings, again speaking to the role of man in this natural world.
