Whew - sometimes publishing work when the author has just recently deceased
is very difficult - estate issues, transfer of authority...<!-- ~MESSAGE_AFTER~ -->

Although he's called Ron, if you want to do a library search it will yield
more if you use "Ronald (W.) Wohlauer"

Small Rooms & Hidden Places
Eye of the Storm

Steve, Ron had two books: Eye of the storm, 1985 (nudes)
and Small rooms & hidden places, 2003. The books of course
are representative but I'm sure he has lots of unpublished/
unseen work (as I recall, Ron was always engaging some model
for some idea he had.) I might be able to put you in contact
with his widow, if you're interested. I don't think there's
any online nude samples, but a PDF sample of Small rooms is
at <a style='text-decoration: underline;' href="http://www.godine.com/images/smallrooms.html" target="_blank">http://www.godine.com/images/smallrooms.html</a>

(book description <a style='text-decoration: underline;' href="http://www.godine.com/books/titles/1567922082.html" target="_blank">http://www.godine.com/books/titles/1567922082.html</a> )

An interesting story about one his nudes, called "Two Women."
It was being exhibited here where I live at an art gallery
and seems some locals suffered from nudity phobia. The print
was a beautiful figure study of two women from pelvic point
of view but the art-phobic locals begin calling it pornographic,
which it wasn't, demanding it be taken down. Was quite a media
stir about it. I think it's in "Eye." Also I know there were/are
several galleries that represented Ron but don't know if there's
one in NM.<!-- ~MESSAGE_AFTER~ -->

It's interesting how the definition of what is acceptable in art has
changed with time. During the Italian Renaissance, male nudes in the
arts were commonplace. During the Victorian era they were very rare, and
until recently "nude" almost always meant "female nude" in practice. Now
naked and half-naked men are all over advertising for men's cologne,
men's underwear, and magazines such as "Men's Health" aimed at straight
men. And some people are exhibiting photography showing closeups of
genitalia, erections, sex acts, urination, and so on. Personally I find
these latter activities offensive subjects for fine art photography. But
who knows what people will be looking at in a hundred years.

Maybe they will grow up beyond the need to be so base and pathetically
interested in the human functions that have existed for millions of
years. Perhaps by constant "exposure" maybe the dim recesses of these
human drives will be enlightened and realize art of form can be non
sexual in its execution. Then again every great society that has come
and gone has gone through this type of era just prior to its final
decline. Only time will tell.

Pfft. We are humans. The human body is
certainly fit subject for art. Sexuality
is one of the driving forces of life.
What would be the point of denying or
ignoring that?
