He is indeed handsome, with broad shoulders, deep eyes and luscious lips.</p> <p>Charles Beach modeled for a Leyendecker’s painting, The Arrow Collar man which catapulted his career and set the standard for what is handsome. The public was in awe about this perfect man. Every woman wants to be with him (and I am sure half of the men too) and the rest of the guys wants to be like him. Little did they know that their ideal model of a man is based on the painter’s life long lover.</p> <p>Leyendecker died in Beach’s arms when he was 77 on 1951, while Beach, who never recovered from this heartbreak, died the next year.</p> </blockquote>http://jcleyendecker.tumblr.com/post/9757433595http://jcleyendecker.tumblr.com/post/9757433595Sat, 03 Sep 2011 16:05:05 -0400JC LeyendeckerCharles Beach<img src="http://24.media.tumblr.com/tumblr_lqp404f8rr1qch8r2o1_500.jpg"/><br/><br/><p><a href="http://cupid-boy.tumblr.com/post/9546906654">cupid-boy</a>:</p> <blockquote> <p>Another painting based on Beach, albeit a change of hair colour.</p> </blockquote>http://jcleyendecker.tumblr.com/post/9715609457http://jcleyendecker.tumblr.com/post/9715609457Fri, 02 Sep 2011 16:05:05 -0400JC Leyendecker<img src="http://25.media.tumblr.com/tumblr_lqf8lhlKgB1qingg5o1_500.jpg"/><br/><br/>http://jcleyendecker.tumblr.com/post/9703114493http://jcleyendecker.tumblr.com/post/9703114493Fri, 02 Sep 2011 08:00:05 -0400jc leyendeckerLeyendeckerillustratorartistillustrationChristmasJesusBaby Jesus<img src="http://25.media.tumblr.com/tumblr_lkg80tkfgc1qb5w8wo1_500.jpg"/><br/><br/>http://jcleyendecker.tumblr.com/post/9675708215http://jcleyendecker.tumblr.com/post/9675708215Thu, 01 Sep 2011 16:00:05 -0400fashioninspirationjc leyendeckerartworkIllustration<img src="http://25.media.tumblr.com/tumblr_lfybtmQV7j1qc8pm4o1_500.jpg"/><br/><br/><p><a href="http://bigbowlofsoup.tumblr.com/post/3078765716">bigbowlofsoup</a>:</p> <blockquote> <p>JC Leyendecker 1923</p> </blockquote>http://jcleyendecker.tumblr.com/post/9663756759http://jcleyendecker.tumblr.com/post/9663756759Thu, 01 Sep 2011 08:00:05 -0400JC Leyendeckerkissart<img src="http://25.media.tumblr.com/tumblr_lppp3fNDuv1qjpbgoo1_500.jpg"/><br/><br/><p><a href="http://bikerblue.tumblr.com/post/8731727269">bikerblue</a>:</p> <blockquote> <p><strong>The Art of J.C.
