Two decades later, the artist Charles Jenkins Jr. converted the original photograph into this oil painting. Jenkins usually worked in black and white ink; this is his only known work in color. John Tristam on the cover of Physique Pictorial, photographed by Robert Mizer. This is the magazine that caught the author's youthful attention in 1959. Thanks to the easy availability of magazines like Strength & Health, many young men like Paul Gaza from Redford, Ohio, sent their photos into the magazine in the hopes of having them published and then reaping the instant fame. The photo was taken sometime around 1935. David L. Dowd was an early physical culture instructor. Using himself as a guinea pig, he invented several bodybuilding apparatuses. This photo of him, taken in 1880, shows his success. He later operated a “School of Scientific, Physical and Vocal Culture” in New York City. Physique photography was a lucrative business, but making and selling suggestive male nudes was even more profitable. This photo, tinged with a touch of BDSM, became a moneymaker for photographer Russ Warner. Though shot in 1948, the photo continued its reign as a popular image well into the next decade.
