About the Item

In the Mid-Century Modern style of the 1960s, artist Gregory Cary recalls discovering "Beefcake" male nude photography when he was thirteen years old via male model magazines which he bought in a backstreet downtown Denver bookshop in 1964. "Discovering Beefcake 1964 #1" features a photograph from the Western Photography Guild unearthed in an abstract expression of acrylic paint and texture characterizing the rock landscapes of the Colorado mountains with hidden mineral mines and adolescent desires. Featured colors are white, browns, turquoise and hints of orange and green. Acrylic on canvas 24 x 24 inches framed in a white pickled wood floater frame for a total size of 26 x 26 inches and 2 inches deep. Gregory Cary (Cary-Roton Studio) is a Woodstock, New York artist who grew up in Hawaii and Colorado before attending the Juilliard School of Music graduating in dance. After a professional career in the field he focused on his art specializing in stained glass, pastels and paint. He has major works throughout the U.S. and internationally, most notably stained glass for the entrance and chapel at The Festival Center on Columbia Road in Washington D.C., commissions for the Norman Rockwell family home in Camden, Maine, and works in London, Tel Aviv and Mexico City. Cary also created the scenic design for choreographer Paul Taylor's ballet "So Long Eden". His new works are focused on the impressionistic landscapes of the Catskill Mountains and his series of art-deco inspired pastels "Post Cards from the North."
