In the 1930s and 1940s, the aestheticised, sophisticated, beautiful nudes of Laure-Albin Guillot, Rudomine, Man Ray, Herbert List, Raymond Voinquel, Frederick Kovert and George Platt-Lynes arrived on the scene. The athletic nudes of the 1940s, 50s and 60s of Arax, Ferrero, Bruce of Los Angeles and Bob Mizer were often pretexts for showing male bodies in all their splendour. Today, photographs of the nude male have reached the same level of distinction as those of the female nude and are available for the pleasure of all.Nus Masculins | Les précurseurs de la fin du XIXème siècle inspirèrent tant d’autres photographes.

Fred Kovert, Frederick Ko Vert, Frederick de Kovert, Fred de Kovert and Kovert of Hollywood began hiring photographers to take pictures for him, and he never even listed his business on Melrose Ave in the city directories because it was so controversial at the time. Working primarily in the 1930s and 1940s, Kovert pushed the boundaries of the law and aesthetics in his nude male photography. Later, better-known and better-remembered photographers like Bob Mizer (Athletic Model Guild) would in 1942 learn the physique gay trade from Kovert. In 1945 Mizer established his AMG studio in the living room of his home thus the infamous Athletic Model Guild and the self publishing of Physique Pictorial. .
