 | Tom of Finland | Brawny 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. | ||

 | Greek And Roman Erotica | The attitudes of pre-Christian people to sex in general was less complicated than ours. In Classical literature there is a great deal that is bawdy, but little that could be called pornographic. Many a schoolboy in recent times, prurience aroused by the passages in his Latin texts which the translator has modestly declined to render in contemporary language, was disappointed when he eventually desiphered them for himself. The reputation of Classical authors like Ovid or Lucian, believed to be much given to lascivious detail, usually turned out to be exaggerated. Readers of this book will quickly discover that the Greeks believed in the union of a pure soul and a beautiful body. The erotic art of the Greeks, Etruscans and Romans is highly revealing; but it is important to remember that here we are dealing with art, in the form of treasures from the leading museums of the world. | ||

 | Femmes of Power: Exploding Queer Femininities | "Intimate, audacious, and exploding with interpretive trajectories, these images reach beyond their edges to re-invision projects of queer visiual testimony." - Juana Maria Rodriguez, University of California, Berkeley Going beyond identity politics, Femmes of Power is a photographic tribute to a diverse range of queerly feminine subjects whose powerful and intentional redress explodes the meaning of femme for the twenty-first century.

 | Tom Pilgrim's Progress Among the Consequences of Christianity: And Other Drawings | Art critics increasingly speak of a "return to content" in contemporary art. For the artist who is gay, a responsive to the cultural and political concerns of our time, this content is necessarily bound up with his attitude towards his sexuality. Mario Dubsky creates a "grammar of feeling" in a masterly series of drawings - more than 60 of which are reproduced in this volume. The "Tom Pilgrim" sequence was prompted by the blasphemy trial against "Gay News"; other drawings develop the tradition of the male nude in a modern perspective, or explore the shadowy sides of myth. | ||

 | Changing | "Changing is, among other things, an unashamed hymn to male beauty. But it would seem a tremenduous pity if people insisted on seeing in it the homoerotic, or even the erotic element alone . . . Leonard, to me, is an impressive artist who takes the secularism of our time and imbues it with a heroic resonance as valid in its way as the more overt emotion of the great religious painters of the past." - Edward Lucie-Smith This book presents 50 drawings of the male by Michael Leonard. | ||

 | Forty Nudes: An Anthology Of Wood Engravings | Primarily a picture book, this anthology of prints of the male and female nude ranges from the 1890s to the 1980s and from the classic to the picaresque. Selected mostly from wood engravings by British artists, the forty main images may be seen as a little visual essay on the nude in the art of our century, broadly considered but as reflected in engraving. The selection has been made in the belief that the importance of the nude as a depiction of humane existence transcends all the abuses of sexism and triviality to which it is vulnerable; that we continue to need balanced images of our humanity; and that in its brief and sometimes marginalised history, twenthieth century wood engraving has established a tradition which deserves to be reconnected to the mainstream of art. These thoughts are brought out in the brief accompanying text. | ||
