Abstract (en)

Study of the "summer camp" that Day maintained for poor urban immigrant boys at his summer home, Little Good Harbor, in Five Islands, Maine, and the images he made there of classicized male nudes, using the boys as models; proposes that Day's aesthetic was conditioned by his expression of eroticism and rooted in the idea of Arcadia as the realm of male desire.
