Bob Delmonteque and Joe Marcy Photographed by Douglas of Detroit
UPDATED November 4, 2017: This is one of my favorite photographs of Bob Delmonteque. It was taken by Douglas of Detroit.
Multiple light sources highlight how muscular and hirsute he and Joe Marcy are.
To circumvent censors in the 1940's and -50's, photographers typically featured nude men wrestling, boxing or otherwise engaging in acts of violence against one another. Here, the camera does capture their fists clenched as if in mid-battle, but the duo seem to be dancing more than fighting.
