“The male nude is by leaps and bounds way less exoticized than the female nude in art, and in all forms of media”, the photographer Dana Scruggs tells me. Her recently released photo series The Black Male Form sees Scruggs — known for shooting high profile celebrity magazine cover stories — vow to use the male body as an object, in the same way many male artists have done with the female body throughout art history. “Seeing the female body nude is extremely commonplace”, Scruggs elaborates, “there’s literally been countless advertisements of naked women on billboards and in magazines, and actresses are constantly expected to show full frontal nudity on screen.”. It’s a lack of parity that Scruggs wants to subvert, “the male nude has been marginalized because there’s never been a dude with his penis out on the side of a bus”, she says, “only now are we starting to see male actors going full frontal in TV and film on a more consistent basis.”.

Becoming more radical as her career progresses – in January Scruggs took to Instagram resolving to “just do what I want. If you like it great, if you don’t, that’s okay too” – her next step involves moving the needle on the use of the male nude in art. The last century of visual culture has seen the female body become a passive creative object used to benefit advertising, art, commerce and pornography, largely by and for men. Her photo series Roze en la Playa on show at New York’s Fotografiska Nude exhibition illustrates how Scruggs is committed to addressing the inequality of male and female nudes in art. The show opened a week after Scruggs posted a mission statement on Instagram, where she revealed her ongoing project The Black Male Form . “The Black Male Form is a phrase I’ve used most of my career to describe my work”, she wrote, “Unfortunately I rarely get hired to shoot men. It feels good to go back to my roots to push even further than I have before.”.
This lens on the male nude is a political one for Scruggs. “This is a patriarchal society that has been dominated by men having the power to desenstize the public to the female nude while intentionally making the public highly sensitive to viewing male genitalia” she tells me, when I ask about her image Roze en la Playa , which sees the chef and model Roze Traore laying in a pose reminiscent of Ingre’s Grande Odalisque painting on a sandy beach. Scruggs cleverly highlights the knock-on effect of a visual culture permeated with passive female nudes, but far fewer of men.
Since the artist group Guerilla Girls famously revealed in 1989 that 5% of the artists in US modern art collections are women, but 85 percent of the nudes are female, little has changed. In 2018, a National Museum of Women in the Arts survey of American museums found that 87 percent of the collections were by men. “When I go to museums, I see way more breasts and vaginas on display than I see penises”, Scruggs explains, “the double standard of vulnerability is very easy to see.”. This double standard has created a culture where the female nude image is traded in a way mens’ is not — in 2018 Exeter University found that nearly 3 in 4 victims of revenge porn are women.

“The male nude was the ideal and principal subject in art in ancient Greece and early renaissance art” says photographer Yushi Li , who appears in the exhibition Nude alongside Scruggs. However, she explains, “since the early 19th century, the female nude started becoming the most prevalent subject in art. Unlike the male nude, which is often perceived as an autonomous subject, the female nude is normally presented in a passive way. I think in my work, I try to present men in a different way to question this masculine and feminine opposition, and cast the gaze onto the male body, which can be equally eroticized and desired as the female body.”. Over the last year, much has been made over male nudity becoming slightly more commonplace in popular culture – in the Sex and the City reboot And Just Like That, Harry’s full front scene went viral, Sex Life 's Adam Demo’s nude scene was much talked about, and even the cover of Julia Peyton’s novel Vladimir shows a naked man. But as Li notes, these acts of nudity have far more autonomy that women’s do – we still need more parity.
Li’s photographic profiles such as Tinder Boys and The Feast , present the male body as a passive prop to her art. An image from The Feast depicts Li fully clothed with naked men used as props for furniture. “In the project My Tinder Boys , I photographed different men I met through the online dating application Tinder. I look at them, I ‘like’ them, I make them become images of mine. The repetition of the process and similar settings in this series of photographs turns these men into undifferentiated and replaceable objects of my desire.”

Li’s image The Nightmare is strikingly similar to Allen Jones’s 1969 sculpture Table, in which a female mannequin is bent over and used as a seat – a pointed reference to the casual use of female bodies for the benefit of a male artist? “During these unusual dates” Li says, careful to note the nuance in her presentation of female objectification of men: “I am both the violator who tries to invade their private space and also the desiring object who participates in their vulnerability”. Carlota Ibanez of Efremedis Gallery in Berlin, says she’s seeing a new emerging market among collectors for art where the tropes of art owned by men historically “such as the nude which was until very recently largely authored by men for men”, are “subverted, such as women depicting men naked, not as the centrepiece of their art, but as passive objects.”.

Like Yi, Scrugg’s ongoing series The Black Male Form sees her use the male body as the ideal prop for the perfect photograph. “I will usually give the model a random piece of direction like: pretend like you're a leaf on the wind or pretend like you’re a piece of spaghetti that’s been thrown against a wall”, she says, “how they interpret that direction is our jumping off point and we work together to make those movements look and feel organic and effortless.”. In many ways, this female lens on the male body is anti-social media, the algorithm-defined aesthetics of which have led to many photographers showing their work on Instagram that prioritises a beauty that fits into western standards – which is what the algorithm rewards.
Does Scruggs think the male nude is at risk of the same marginalisation that women have felt for over half a century? “The root of my work is portraying the masculinity and vulnerability of the Black male form. I enjoy photographing women, but the opposite energy of men is what inspires me the most”, she says. She describes her work before revealing The Black Male Body series as something she did for career progression, feeling that she to “had to check boxes of wokeness and black pain”, a sentiment she shared on Instagram last year. For now, a commitment to the male nude is her main objective. “It’s a voyeuristic fascination” she says — “a curiosity of the masculine.”.
