"TOM OF FINLAND: Light and Shade"
an article in
Neue Luxury
|
"I first laid eyes on Tom of Finland in 1980 at Stuffed Olives, a basement gay bar of some disrepute in downtown Manchester. Not the man himself, unfortunately, he was just a distant, mythical name. I'm referring to his art, and more specifically to the defining characteristics of that art: the men."
