From the Author

When I first explored Europe many years ago, I was astounded by the eroticism as well as the preponderance of unembarrassed male nudity in public art and sculpture. The very first time I sauntered along London's Millbank on my way to the Tate Britain Museum, I was confronted by two writhing naked men tying a poor woman to a bull, and then found myself staring up through the leaping legs of another naked man carrying a woman's head! These are the statues that decorate one entrance, The Death Of Dirce and The rescue of Andromeda, which depicts Perseus with Medusa's head. Experiencing these was awesome ( in the literal sense of the word), because not only were they haunting and erotically charged sculptures , but, as I quickly realised,  they were accepted as part of the public art dialogue of a sophisticated culture, two of hundreds of erotically charged publicly naked and semi-naked men throughout great European cities like London and ignored by thousands of commuters each day.  The Death Of Dirce is itself based upon the exquisite classical sculpture, now called The Farnese Bull, itself dating from around 220 AD, on display in Rome. A 16th century pope had acquired it when his men found it while digging around Roman ruins in search of garden decorations , and  Michelangelo evidently turned it into a fountain for the Pope's garden. The Baroque period, and the incorporation of naked, lustful, heroic male dominated classicism into religious art (thanks partly to Medici influence and money), is something that always perplexed me as a child growing up in an austere Catholicism but surrounded by this orgy of imagery. This nudity, captured in realistic painting and sculpture (the photography in its day) was scandalous when first unveiled. But it became highly sought after for church decoration. And it was copied and plagiarised around the world, eventually reaching 20th century Tasmania, where I was confused and aroused by it as a child, whilst the nuns and priests who schooled me, taught  me to be ashamed of my sinful body. It is strange today that we are socialised to feel embarrassment or repulsion at male genitalia, and the portrayal of the naked male as an object of sensuality in art film and photography is judged pejoratively as gay or homoerotic, when this is at odds with the public art which we inherited from the classical tradition, and which was resurrected by Christian Europe in the Renaissance. This was art created when our Roman and Greek predecessors, who we still revere in every other way, worshipped the full beauty of a male as one of the most important subjects of art .  Heroics explores this gap between heroic art and life, using the photo reality and mixing modern and classical references to replicate some of the drama inherent in the original art. Something of my serious political purpose may be subsumed by the resultant theatricality that has about it more of the humorous kitsch surreality of a Fellini set, dispelling any awe I felt from staring up at the very serious sensuality of the statues outside the Tate Britain. But I called the books Heroics for a reason, and I also wanted to satirise the way European men have adorned and mythologised themselves and their physical courage, in art through the centuries.

Although the quality of photography and the calibre of the models was usually good, the settings in which the models posed were too often urban gritty, industrial, graffitti covered scenes. There is nothing heroic about rust belt decay!!! I was looking more for classic beauty. Also, the props, such as hat, helmets, and greaves, looked cheesy. Freeman could use a good production designer.

Another exquisite book from Mr. Freeman. The volume is beautifully printed. The photographs are gorgeous and most are sized to the page. The models are definitely heroic. You will not regret this purchase.

Always waiting for another great book from Freeman. Since seeing his work in the magazine "blue" years ago it has been a pleasure to collect the publication of his work in all formats. Heroics has an edge with the costuming and contemporary locations for his shoots.

Like all the Paul Freeman books, this is beautiful and well-produced, The models are macho and good looking and the use of props and costumes to the nudes makes for a certain piquancy, Not pornographic but definitely erotic.

A fantastic book from this photographer, I look forward to new editions of his works as he is the best since Jim French (Colt Studios).

beautiful photography and the models are stunning indeed!

order came in a timely fashion and was exactly what i wanted.

Superbly and tastefully displayed.
