Levinarium, No.

Continuing the sexual topic.

If you are interested in theoretical and historical aspects of how and why Tom of Finland got to be not only among the most loved gay icons, but also both a national Finnish brand and a piece of high-quality art, here’s the monograph by the Finnish researcher, Harri Kahla.

English title: Harri Kahla “Tom of Finland: Art Because of Sex”
Original title (Finnish): Harri Kahla “Tom of Finland: Taidetta seksin vuoksi”

Written so easily that I read it quickly on one of my recent relatively long train trips.

A lot of marvelous pictures, of course.
