"Unicorn Courtship and Mating" Zine
A downloadable book
If you love horses, you've probably heard of Robert Vavra. Hailed as a master of equine photography, Vavra spent the 80s and 90s traveling the world and photographing hypermasculine subjects such as bullfights and Andalusian stallions. But while he was gaining worldwide recognition for his serious photographs, he was also working on a passion project: creating photos of "real" unicorns. These works were eventually collected in a book called Unicorns I Have Known, featuring not only dozens of photos of Andalusian stallions he styled as unicorns but detailed drawings of unicorn courtship and mating.
Since Unicorns I Have Known is out of print, I have created this fan zine with the goal of making more people aware of this "forgotten" aspect of Vavra's work. I also attempt to answer questions like: is art of unicorn "horn jobs" inherently queer? Who was "Barbara Funk", who Vavra credits as the artist for the drawings of unicorn mating? What does unicorn "horn honey" taste like, and what kind of person fantasizes about trying it? And finally: was Vavra actually trying to make a serious art book for adult unicorn fans, or was it all a long practical joke?
