JOHN VAN HAMERSVELD
Since his 1966 The Endless Summer movie poster, graphic
artist John Van Hamersveld has been responsible for creating
the visual experience of pop culture for us all. From his album
designs—The Rolling Stones, Bob Dylan, Blondie—and his
groundbreaking concert posters—Hendrix, the Jefferson
Airplane, Cream—Van Hamersveld has influenced everyone
from Shepard Fairey to the punk rock movement. TREATS!
drops by the master artist’s studio for a chat about rock ‘n’
roll, culture and the art of day-glow design.

34 SEXSOMNIA
Sweat-soaked sheets. Haunting hallucinations. Dream-
time erotic impulses. Rousing to strange and unsettling
surroundings—disoriented, disrobed and drenched—only
to discover you have done the unthinkable again. Welcome
to the Grimm’s Fairytale-esque world of a sexsomniac.
TREATS! jumps into this shadowy sexual disorder that
seems to be on the rise, talking to sufferers, doctors, skeptics
and victims in a story—and short film—that is guaranteed to
titillate and bewilder.

48 LE PRINCE DE PARFUM
Dubbed “the perfume artist,” Kilian Hennessy, the scion
of the fabled cognac empire, creates exotic and forbidden
scents—all in the name of poetry, art and literature.
TREATS! meets up with the jet-setting perfume maestro
in NYC to discuss the semantics of scents, the power of
Rimbaud and his new parfum In the Garden of Good and Evil.

66 THE LAST OF THE MAVERICKS
The late UK photographer Bob Carlos Clarke, known for his
striking and revolutionary use of rubber on his models, never
became an internationally famous photographer in the vein of
Newton, Avedon or Ritts—until now. TREATS! looks back—
and forward—at Clarke’s maverick career, his turbulent
personal life and what the future may hold for his legacy.

112 THE MAN WHO (ALMOST) FOOLED
EVERYONE
During the 20th century, one man, a charming Hungarian
aristocrat named Elmyr de Hory, threatened to take down
the entire art world with his flawless forgeries. From Van
Gogh to Matisse and everyone in between, de Hory was a
master drawer and forger who fooled the most savvy of art
critics, collectors, and museums with his immaculate fakes.
TREATS! delves into the mercurial man who went by dozens
of nom de plumes and finds, in a delicious twist of fate, that
the master copier is now considered a “master artist” by the
very community he bilked for so many years.

on fire with his fiber and paint-based artwork in “The
Guns of Cinema” and “The Cameras of Cinema” series’.
TREATS! heads to his sprawling Hawthorne airport-based
studio to talk movie iconography, guns, and what he
hopes his art will provoke among viewers.

clothing.
