WHAT IS BEAUTY? This question has been pondered by many of the great philosophers--even the high courts of the land have had to consider it. In selecting pictures for a magazine, many editors consider it. When we lay out Physique Pictorial we try to keep it in mind, though we readily admit to our limited ability to always make the wisest choices. We also realize that many physique book editors may use an entirely different criteria than beauty, such as muscle size, or achievement, and we wouldn't want them to change their policy and are amazed if they would suggest To many beauty Is a symmetry we change ours. f form, a flowing of line, a perfection of type--to others it may be the variations and what some would coll dischordant notes that others abhor.
determine his "taste" In beauty, and that there are few if any absolutes
No one will argue that a person's background and training may that everyone will agree upon. To some (probably including all who take the trouble to read this book) the human body is one of the most beautiful things in creation, and to them every new position or infinite variation and combination with other bodies is a newfound delight. But to others the unclothed body is an ugly, repulsive thing, and should be kept hidden at all costs.
Who is right and who is wrong? Should it be really necessary to set up a definition? In our age of "enlightenment", should not every individual be able to determine for himself what will and will not please him. Yet there are forces constantly at work which attempt (and many times are successful) In putting the label of "obscene" on art displays that are a source of comforting beauty and Inspiration to others.
While some may believe passive resistance is the way to handle such cranks, a militant program against censorship such as is followed by American Civil Liberties Union 170 Fifth avenue New York 10 New York seems to us to be the most expedient barrier to having Big Brother take over and tell each of us what shall be his criterion for beauty. Your help and money is needed
