The Art of Eric Stanton: For the Man Who Knows His Place

Product Information

Almost at once Stanton recognized that art provided a unique satisfaction he did not experience in real life: not only access to a special fantasy world, but a sense of personal power: ‘I had control ... I could have the people I drew do anything I wanted’ he reflected in later years. ‘I was king of my world.’ Control and powerlessness—as mirrored in the secret subculture of the sexual fantasist–would become a major theme in his art. [...] Her mother was angry that Stanton never claimed recognition or royalties because of his role in creating the character. When Amber asked her father about it, “his response,” she said, “made it clear that it was something he would never even consider because the ideas were freely given. Riemschneider, Burkhard (1997). Eric Stanton: For the Man Who Knows His Place. Benedikt Taschen Verlag. p.4 (unnumbered). ISBN 978-3-8228-8169-9. In 1963, Stanton did a few very clever drawings for the Selbee magazine, Female Mimics. These are from Female Mimics 1, Female Mimics 2 and Female Mimics 3.

While Stanton began his career as a bondage fantasy artist for Irving Klaw, the majority of his later work depicted gender role reversal and proto-feminist female dominance scenarios. Commissioned by Klaw starting in the late 1940s, his bondage fantasy chapter serials earned him underground fame. Stanton also worked with pioneering underground fetish art publishers, Leonard Burtman, the notorious Times Square publisher.

ISBN 978-1973773771 While Stanton wanted to honor Ditko’s work by not claiming any part of it for himself, he had another reason for avoiding the subject: he wanted to protect his family by keeping a low profile:Sadomasochism is very prevalent and most women are shown submissive. Many are in very extreme bondage. However, some women are in leather and hold whips or weapons, playing a more dominant role. The Stanton-Ditko studio lasted until 1968, when they both set out again on their own. That year, Stanton met Britt Stromsted, a Norwegian woman visiting the U.S. Unlike Grace, Britt was fascinated by Stanton’s artistry, and she even modeled in wrestling poses with Stanton, photos he’d use as references when drawing fighting femmes. It was, in short, just the kind of setup that encouraged the two artists to kibbitz each other’s work. And also to lend each other a hand when deadlines loomed. Spider-Man’s face mask is unusual among superheroes. The mask covers the entire face. “Prior to Spider-Man,” Seves writes, “heroes had open faces (like Superman) or half-faces (like Batman).” Would it be fair to say from bizarre culture? Or, specifically, from Stanton since he had been creating hooded characters for almost as long as he had been a fetish artist?”

The studio was bare bones. “It was a room about ten feet by twenty,” said Stanton. “One side was all windows. Steve’s desk and mine faced each other next to the window.” Together he and Ditko would have ‘skull sessions’ and choreograph many of the great action sequences throughout the books.” The instructions that came with the girl’s fee from their anonymous employer were very explicit. Since Dan Marlo was always bragging about his masculinity and the fact that he was usually selected for he-man roles, the Tame-azons were to humiliate and degrade him by dressing him in feminine clothes and forcing him to act as a girl. Ditko, asked years later how he and Stanton met, said, “I liked the way he drew women.” More about their relationship anon.Vor Bezirk Tainan-Annan - Vinyl / Turntables haben Taiwan verschoben - Die Ära des ökonomischen Starts a b Bell, Blake.
