Book Reviews of Tom of Finland: The Art of Pleasure
Book Review: Huge volume of pictures
Summary: 4 Stars
This massive an impressive work is full of art from Tom of Finland. It shows work from all periods of his life. The pictures are mostly in B&W but some are colour. The works are typical Tom of Finland. The volume is thick, large and heavy. a most impressive book to display on a shelf or on the coffee table as a conversation starter. The book can be a bit pricy but as I said it is very large and a good collection of art from tom's various periods. Buy it if you are a collector, you will want to keep it nice. If you just wanna be titalated buy a less expensive and expansive wotk of Mr. Finlands
Summary of Tom of Finland: The Art of Pleasure
"If I don't have an erection when I'm doing a drawing, I know it's no good." -Tom of FinlandBrawny hunks boasting larger-than-life muscles and skin-tight leather pants.. Crotches engorged and nearly ripping apart seams.. Men upon men upon men cavorting and indulging nearly every possible fantasy.. Tom's men are so hot they're off the Richter scale. Until TASCHEN published the retrospective volume on this master illustrator's work, his drawings had been relegated to the walls of gay bars and adult shops. Our first publication of this book helped Tom's influence as an artist extend far beyond the gay scene. Now this masterwork is finally being made available again, in a more compact format, for any and all to enjoy.
