Vintage - Boys of Summer
An oil-painting-style portrait of a dark-haired young man with loose curls and a level, confident gaze, styled as the cover of a fictional late-1950s Miami Beach summer issue. Bare-chested and athletic, he stands against bold teal rococo scrollwork and faded tobacco-brown florals, a striped sash knotted at his hip. The cream VINTAGE masthead, the "The Physique Issue – Boys of Summer" cover line and the warm shadowed edges give it the feel of a well-thumbed mid-century magazine — masculine retro wall art with a nod to the classic physique publications of the era.
Perfect for:
- Bringing a bold, masculine focal point to a bedroom, bathroom or dressing room wall
- Collectors of vintage magazine cover art and classic physique illustration
- A gift for a boyfriend, husband or friend with a taste for retro queer art
- Teal, green and warm-neutral interiors, from mid-century to maximalist
These colours are sampled directly from the artwork and will help you match this print to your existing décor palette.

This piece belongs to an ever-growing collection of original wall art styled as the fictional fashion and lifestyle magazine covers of mid-century America and Europe — invented titles, imagined issue numbers, a glamour that never was. Some covers carry a "VINTAGE" masthead as part of their period styling, others wear the Vintoire name itself, but all are created and produced by imagii.
