The Artist
Tom of Finland ignited a cultural movement with his iconic homoerotic art, which premiered in the Spring 1957 issue of the groundbreaking American all-male magazine Physique Pictorial. He is considered and respected as one of the most influential artists of the 20th century - with works part of permanent collections in museums around the world - and his signature black-and-grey technique is instantly recognizable and remains a key component of popular culture.
