Two black and white pictures today continue the focus on rope art.
Picture 1 is from the excellent but now defunct publication 'Bound and Gagged'.
This man is muscular but with a lean frame. The cap and unruly hair suggest the subject is a real working man not a professional model. The ropework is a bit casual but the loop around the neck loop is more sinister. The subjects kneeling pose and bowed head tell us that he has surrendered to his fate.
I don't have an attribution for the second picture but see comment below. The black and white treatment accentuates the drama of the tautly posed subject. The ropes accentuate his back muscles instead of his pecs as in my previous pictures. This really looks like restraint!
