Evret Lee Jackson [with two horses], Los Angeles

Taken in the late 1950s, this depiction of Everett Lee Jackson with the horses presents a harmonious connection between man and nature. However, within the context of the 1950s, the image would have likely faced scrutiny due to its homoerotic undertones. The prevailing censorship of the time imposed strict limitations on the representation of non-normative sexualities. Mizer's photograph, with its subtle yet subversive implications, serves as a testament to the artist's defiance against societal restrictions, shedding light on the complex interplay between artistic expression and censorship in the 1950s.
