Tom of Finland
Illustrated talk
Tuesday 4th November
Contemporary Urban Centre,
41 - 51 Greenland Street, L1
£5
An illustrated talk by Rupert Smith looking at how Tom’s work emerged from traditions of homosexual art, who influenced him and who he influenced. Looking at the forerunners of his work in Europe and America, how he got published (and frequently pirated) around the world, and how his representation of idealised male sexuality impacted not only on other representations but also on the way gay men actually lived their lives.
