L'enfant (also known as Man and Baby)[1] is a 1986 photographic poster depicting a shirtless male model (Adam Perry) holding a young baby. The image, conceived by Paul Rodriguez was photographed by Spencer Rowell and published in the 1980s by British company Athena Posters.[2] The photograph was said to herald the "sensitive but sexy New Man" aesthetic.[1] Senator Josh Hawley once hung the photo over his dorm room bed at Stanford.[3]
In a 2004 British television documentary about L'Enfant, The Model, the Poster and 3,000 Women, Perry claimed that as a result of his poster fame he had slept with 3,000 women. The programme also identified the baby as Greek-Cypriot Stelios Havatzios. Stelios currently lives in Limassol, Cyprus with his family and works as a lawyer.[1] Perry, who was paid £100 for the photo shoot, worked as a London-based carpenter in 2007.[1] In 2011, the poster became part of the V&A Print collection and can be viewed in the Prints and Drawings Study Room level C. V&A, London and is published on p. 58 British Posters. Advertising, Art and Activism (Flood., C. V&A: 2012)[4]
