Some odds and ends from In Touch For Men...
This piece from Issue #84 - October, 1983.
The text of the blurb is as follows:
“WHY WE LOVE JACK WOODY, PART THREE:
Although he is perhaps best known in the gay community as Christopher Isherwood's lover, the art world knows Don Bachardy as an extremely successful portrait artist. Following a recent series of prestigious gallery exhibitions, Bachardy has put together a beautiful new book of celebrity portraits. Again, publisher Jack Woody has produced a lavish art book with the gay market firmly in mind. Don Bachardy: One Hundred Drawings is a veritable who's who of gay culture, featuring major gay figures (Tennessee Williams, Truman Capote, W. H. Auden, Elton John, Gore Vidal, Divine, Armistead Maupin, etc.) as well as modern legends with zillions of gay fans (Bette Davis, Warren Beatty, Marlene Dietrich, Lotte Lenya, etc.). Shown here: Ian Whitcomb, the distinguished musicologist and performer whose career has also included the scandalous Sixties rock hit "You Really Turn Me On," a Hollywood novel, and even an IN TOUCH contribution (his British boys-school memoirs in #41).
Available by mail from Twelvetrees Press (P.O. Box 188, Pasadena, CA 91102; $20.00 paper, plus $2.00 p&h).”
