Tels Quels Magazine. Numero Special: Pierre D'Harville.

(Bruxelles: Antenne Rose), [Feb. 1987]. [Feb. 1987]. - Small folio [11-5/8 inches high by 8-1/4 inches wide], softcover bound in black-and-white pictorial wrappers.

Profuse black-and-white illustrations, mostly full-page, after photographs by Pierre D'Harville. Very good. The Belgian photographer Pierre d'Harville [b. 1939] is best known for his homoerotic images. He was the manager of the Royal Academy of Fine Arts in Charleroi. Serving as a poetic preface, the essay "Caresses par la Lumiere" explores the feelings of a nude male model as he is being photographed. The essay is by the Belgian writer and film director Nadine Monfils. Monfils [b.1953] directed the film "Madame Edouard" [2004] and has written a series of detective novels based on her character Inspector Leon, a policeman who knits. Tels Quels, founded in 1979, is an LGBT association formed by gays and Socialist militants. Under the leadership of Luc-Daniel Dupire Tels Quels organized the first Gay and Lesbian Film Festival of Brussels in 1981. In that same year the monthly news magazine Tels Quels was founded in an attempt to present a positive image of the gay life style. The periodical's editor, Luc Legrand, describes it as "Le magazine des gays et des lesbiennes." Laid in is an illustrated Tels Quels brochure advertising the January 1987 issue of the magazine. The text of the magazine is in French. Rare. Very good .
