Male Nude with Head Down (Sepia Toned Figurative Photograph by David Halliday)
By David Halliday
Located in Hudson, NY
Contemporary figurative sepia toned photograph of nude male model Sepia toned silver gelatin print, edition 3 of 25 Image size: 8 x 8 inches 17.5 x 16.5 x 1 inches framed with 8-ply white mat and non reflective glass. Signed and dated below image with atelier stamp This contemporary figurative photograph was taken by David Halliday in 1998. The sepia toned silver gelatin print beautifully captures a standing male model on a simple monotone background. The nude model's flawless skin complements the similarly toned sepia backdrop, while contrasts in light and shadow accentuate his toned back and shoulder muscles. The figure's casual pose lends a serene atmosphere to the image. This print, 3rd in the edition of 25, is framed in a custom brown wood Larson Juhl frame with an 8 ply white mat and non reflective glass. The print is signed with an atelier stamp on the lower right. About the Artist: David Halliday's photographs are about beauty, pure and simple. His primary subjects are carefully composed still lifes, portraits and landscapes which he shoots in black and white film with only natural light. He is a purist behind the lens, rarely manipulating his negatives in any way, and a master in the darkroom. His work has an ethereal quality that's translated not only through the subject, but also by the warm colors and sepia tones he uses in his printing. More about the work: A master of light, David Halliday produces lush and elegant images that are both classical and modern. Celebrated for his ‘purist’ eye, he poetically captures the nude male body in a selection of sepia-toned prints from 1996. Rarely revealing the model's face, Halliday prefers to focus on the natural drape of limbs, soft folds of flawless skin, and curvature of the spine. Overall, a stunningly intimate portrayal of the male form done with elegance and charm.

Archival pigment print Artist stamp in black ink, verso Also blindstamped, l.r. 10 x 8 inches, sheet size 7.5 x 7.5 inches, image size This artwork is offered by ClampArt, located in New York City. Mel Roberts was born in Toledo, Ohio in 1923. He started creating his own imagery as a teenager by shooting 16mm movies of his friends. He was drafted in 1943 and served as a cameraman documenting World War II in the South Pacific. After the war, Roberts moved to California. Like many, he wanted to work in Hollywood. He studied cinema and graduated from the University of Southern California with a degree in filmmaking. One of Roberts’ earliest projects after graduation was working on the blacklisted film, “Salt of the Earth,” as music editor. Roberts became involved in the newly-formed Mattachine Society—one of the earliest political organizations of the gay movement—and lived as an openly gay man. A turning point occurred while Roberts was working for a large aircraft manufacturer in San Diego: “I was right in the middle of directing a film when I went to the office and was told to leave the building immediately. I couldn’t figure out why. They never told me. I didn’t pass the security clearance, obviously. I assumed there were two reasons: I had worked on ‘Salt of the Earth’ and because I was gay.” Roberts then found work as a model for the La Jolla Museum of Art, and spent his days surfing and combing the beach. It was the beginning of a new direction in his life. Shortly thereafter, Roberts returned to Los Angeles and began getting work from a variety of Hollywood studios as a director, cinematographer, and film editor, which kept him busy through much of the mid- to late-1950s. Roberts bought his first still camera during this time, and began shooting his friends and lovers. From the late 1950s through the late 1970s, Roberts’ photographs of young men were published in a variety of American and European magazines, including “Young Physique.” The artist then began receiving requests for prints from mail-order customers worldwide. In 1977, and again in 1979, the Los Angeles Police Department raided Roberts’ home...
