Original nude, erotic, 120mm transparency features Patricia "Cherokee" Barrett taken by Bob Guccione in 1973. Model:
When a red Indian girl pow-wows us as much as Patricia "Cherokee" Barrett, we have no reservation about according her. Cherokee was 22 years old at the time of her photo shoot with Bob. She is referred to as Cherokee, because of the 6.25% Redskin blood in her veins, give or take a corpuscle or two. She does possess in full measure (36-22-35) all those attributes that made her ancestors both noble and scarce. She owes her heritage to her great-great-grandfather, who hailed from north of England, a Forty-niner in the Great California Gold Rush of the 19th century. This perceptive prospector, far from his native shore, amused himself between excavations with America's beautiful aboriginal assets and produced, with the co-operation of a beautiful Cherokee girl, Miss Barrett's great-grandfather. Now the seductive sedeciroon who is the heiress to his adventurous spirit has returned to England, leaving her native Montana to search for gold by the more sophisticated system of the 20th century.
Photographer:
In 1965, Bob Guccione, a struggling artist with an entrepreneurial imagination, started a magazine called Penthouse. Due to his lack of resources, Guccione personally photographed most of the models for the magazine's early issues. He spent long hours, and sometimes, several days, to complete a photo shoot. Although he had no professional training, Guccione applied his knowledge of painting to his photography, establishing the diffused, soft focus look that would become one of the trademarks of the magazine's pictorials. These images offered more sexually explicit content than other gentleman’s magazines of the era, establishing Penthouse as a well known name amongst its competitors.

Although Bob Guccione's formal training amounts to a one-month stint at the Art Students League, his entire life has revolved around the art world since the age of 5, when his aunt gave him a book of impressionist reproduction. As a young man living in Europe and North Africa, he furthered his artistic pursuits by painting and sketching for over 20 years. His sense of light, form, and movement can be attributed to the past 30 years he has spent behind the camera lens. Finally his lifelong acquisition of old-master, impressionist and post-impressionist works has greatly influenced his use of inert color. Although he is known primarily as a businessman, and owner of GMI and its 17 publications, he states that "my greatest passion has always been art." Featured Video:
