Tom of Finland, Bob Mizer at MOCA Los Angeles

      

In one of the first major exhibits of gay erotica at a mainstream museum, a show of drawings by Tom of Finland and photos by Bob Mizer opens at MOCA Los Angeles on Saturday. It also includes

"...examples of Mizer's groundbreaking magazine Physique Pictorial—where drawings by "Tom of Finland" were first published in the United States in 1957. Spanning work of five decades, the exhibition seeks a wider appreciation for Mizer and Laaksonen's art, considering their aesthetic influence on generations of artists, both gay and straight, while also acknowledging its profound cultural and social impact, most importantly in providing open, powerful imagery of queer sexuality in an era of rapidly shifting attitudes towards homosexuality."

Kudos to curator Bennett Simpson. If you can't go to L.A. before January 26, get Bob's World: The Life and Boys of A.M.G.'s Bob Mizer or spring for Tom of Finland XXL.
