Dirty Pictures: Tom of Finland, Masculinity, and Homosexuality

Dirty Pictures: Tom of Finland, Masculinity, and Homosexuality Cover

Synopses & Reviews

Publisher Comments:

In this groundbreaking study of the art of Touko Laaksonen (1920-1991), better known as Tom of Finland, Micha Ramakers explores the incredible and defining impact Tom's work has had upon the culture at large. It is work whose erotic and emotional power remains unabated to this day. Lavishly illustrated with drawings and photographs, Dirty Pictures is a lively and entertaining book encompassing the rise of the gay movement, the world of fine art, and the function (and the functioning) of pornography. For the millions of fans of Tom's work throughout the world, as well as readers unfamiliar with his work, this study brings uncommon insight into Tom of Finland's decidedly uncommon work.

Synopsis:

A lively, insightful study of the work of Tom of Finland and its impact upon the emerging gay culture. 80 drawings & photos.

Description:

Includes bibliographical references (p. 257-262) and index.
