Dibujo. Tom of Finland enjoyed an intense cult following in the international gay community, but was largely unknown to a wider public. In this first edition of 2009, TASCHEN has published the definitive summary of Tom: Tom of Finland XXL, a beautiful large collector's edition with more than 1,000 images that covers six decades of the artist's career. The work is compiled from collections in the United States and Europe with the help of the Tom of Finland Foundation and features many drawings, paintings and sketches never before reproduced. Other images had only been seen out of context and were finally presented in the sequential order Tom intended for full artistic appreciation and erotic impact. The elegant, oversized volume shows the full range of Tom's talent, from sensitive portraits to frank sexual pleasure, tender expressions of love and haunting tributes to young people affected by AIDS, and is completed with eight commissioned essays by Camille Paglia on Tom's social and personal impact. Paglia, John Waters, Armistead Maupin, Todd Oldham and others, plus scholarly analysis of individual drawings by art historian Edward Lucie-Smith. Discover the full range of Tom's talent, from sensitive portraits and frank sexual pleasure to tender expressions of love and haunting tributes to young people affected by AIDS. Essays on Tom's personal and social impact by Camille Paglia, John Waters, Armistead Maupin, Todd Oldham, and others, plus scholarly analysis of individual drawings. 666 pp. 41 x 30.
