拍品資料及來源
Mizer began taking unapologetically erotic photography of other men in the early 1940s, at a time when homosexuality and pornography were both seen as criminal. In 1947, Mizer was convicted of unlawful distribution of obscene material through the US mail and served a nine-month sentence at a work camp in Saugus, California. Undeterred, Mizer returned to his practice to create photographs that gave men around the nation access to a rich fantasy world that the government at the time fought fiercely to repress out of ignorance and fear.
