In 1998, TASCHEN introduced the world to the masterful art of Touko Laaksonen with The Art of Pleasure. Prior to that, Laaksonen, better known as Tom of Finland, enjoyed an intense cult following in the international gay community but was largely unknown to a broader audience. In 2009, TASCHEN followed up with the ultimate Tom overview: Tom of Finland XXL, a beautiful big collector's edition with over 1,000 images, covering six decades of the artist's career. The work was gathered from collections across the United States and Europe with the help of the Tom of Finland Foundation, featuring many drawings, paintings, and sketches never previously 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 showed the full range of Tom's talent, from sensitive portraits to frank sexual pleasure to tender expressions of love and haunting tributes to young men struck down by AIDS, and was completed by eight commissioned essays on Tom's social and personal impact by Camille Paglia, John Waters, Armistead Maupin, Todd Oldham, and others, plus a scholarly analysis of individual drawings by art historian Edward Lucie-Smith. The only thing missing from Tom of Finland XXL was a widely affordable price tag--until now. The new Tom of Finland XXL is still big enough to work your biceps, and includes all of the original content, but costs a fraction of the original price. You're welcome.… (altro)
Per tutti gli appassionati di Tom of Finland, impossibile lasciarsi scappare l'occasione di acquistare quest'opera che farà un ottima figura nella vostra libreria. Gli autori analizzano la vita e l'opera di Tom of Finland, e di come ha contribuito alla creazione dell'immaginario erotico e sessuale gay (ma non solo) e come ha anche contribuito con quella sua sfacciata evidenza, a contribuire all'uscita dal closet di così tante persone. Il formato è eccezionale, e l'edizione ipercurata come al solito solo Taschen sa fare. Con un solo problema... è difficile da nascondere;-) ( )

Tom of Finland was crucial in the development of my own thinking about art and gender. He armed me as a dissident feminist for my long war against the puritan ideologues and philistines who co-opted American feminism in the 1970s and who perversely turned against the 1960s sexual revolution: their reactionary movement would reach its peak in the 1980s in the fanatical anti-pornography crusades of Catharine MacKinnon and Andrea Dworkin. Anyone familiar with Tom's exuberant gay wonderland would have found as ridiculous as I did the feminist mantra that pornography is nothing but an instrument of political intimidation by which men threaten women with rape or, even more absurd, actually causes rape. (Camille Paglia: p. 82)

Camille Paglia is the author of just one of several specially commissioned essays in this work, the editor is really Dian Hanson. Amazon.com importing gets the wrong author.
