Naked as a Jaybird - Reviews

Page [1] [2] [3]
"A sumptuous and often hilarious retrospective of mid-60s Californian nudist magazine Jaybird... Falling somewhere between traditional nudist magazine, experimental art and outright porn, there are some truly extraordinary images here."
Creative Review, London
United Kingdom
"Naked as a Jaybird is yet another proof of the fact that TASCHEN have moved from being high brow art peddlers to all-round cultural archivists, and are still the best at getting naked people into high street bookstores."
Fiesta Magazine, London
United Kingdom
"Offenherzig, emotional und nackt. Jaybird erzählt uns die Geschichte von den Anfängen des Nudismus in Deutschland, vom Verschwinden dieser Szene zur Zeit des Zweiten Weltkrieges und vor allem vom Revival in den Sechziger-und Siebzigerjahren. Erzählt wird uns in wenig Text und vielen lustigen und humorvollen Bildern die offene Art der Hippies, mit Sexualität umzugehen. Jaybird war ein Magazin, das eine gesunde und sehr freie Einstellung gegenüber der Sexualität zeigte, ohne schmuddelig oder pornografisch zu wirken. Nun kommen einige noch unveröffentlichte Bilder sowie die ganze Geschichte in Form eines Buches auf den Markt. Empfehlenswert nicht nur für alle FKK-Fans, sondern auch für Leute, die gerne schmunzeln über Freizügigkeit und Natürlichkeit."

"Dian Hanson presents interesting nude photographs of men and women in the nude. These are people who are proud to strut their stuff for the camera on the beach, in the grass, or anywhere they want to be completely naked. All the photos are tasteful done in this great coffee table book."
V2 Magazine, Miami
United States
"Brash, colourful chronicle of radical 60s nudist magazine..."
Desire, London
United Kingdom
"Por toda la ingenuidad y el hippismo de estos campeones del ano franco, quedan estas instantáneas fabulosas capaces de despertar un extraño infantilismo erógeno que desafía la obsesión plástica por la curva perfecta a la que estamos condenados por el imperio de la moda y el consumo. El libro está editado por DIAN Hanson para TASCHEN."
Freek, Sevilla

"De Taschen, este compendio de fotografías de jóvenes jay-souls californianos reivindicativos, en pleno Summer of Love, el nudismo como forma y filosofía de vida. La mayoría de las imágenes que contiene, entre gamberras, cándidas y absurdas, no han sido antes publicadas."

I was 26 back in 1968 when I enjoyed my first nudist experience at a resort near San Diego. I met several women and couples and when I got in the pool due to a nice erection, one young babe struck up a conversation with me. We shared a towel, a few beers and she rubbed sunscreen on my back and buns which was very arousing. By 5pm she invited me to join her naked pals at a large secluded home with a pool and an old hot tub. Needless to say, sex was raging, and we danced naked, painted each other in dayglo and I endulged in my first threesome with two girls licking, teasing and sucking me. The magazines rarely showed a hardon, and when it did, it featured some babe pulling a man by his penis into a room. I do remember playfully spanking a young blond as her boyfriend spanked her, his hand tweaking a nipple as my hardon rubbed against her nice bare buns. Two brunets loved doggie style screwing, so we obliged them, one sucking a guy as we took turns satisfying her. Naked as a Jaybird is very erotic, esp a photo showing newcomer nudists girls in awe of a large penis growing in front of them. Two years later I went to Blacks Beach, which by 1975 was an Eden, frequented by young babes from UC, et al.

"Voici un ouvrage décoiffant sur l'une des moins conventionnelles des revues nudistes américaines. Fini les photos de famille jouant au volley-ball ou barbotant gentiment dans l'eau, fini la glorification, somme toute très conservatrice, du corps sain, héritée par les mouvements allemands du début du XXème siècle."
Penthouse, Paris

"TASCHEN is a German publishing company with a well-deserved reputation for offering well-bound books at affordable prices. Naked as a Jaybird is no exception. The hard core cover binding and the quality of its black and white and colour images well disappoint no one."
