HE OFFICIAL LIFE AND WORK OF A GAY HERO Tuoko Laaksonen, également connu sous le nom de Tom of Finland (1920-1991), était un artiste emblématique et provocateur qui est devenu culte dans la communauté gay internationale pour son travail de célébration des archétypes gays et de la masculinité à une époque où c'était tabou. Créé en partenariat avec Tom of Finland Estate, Tom of Finland: La vie et l'œuvre officielles d'un héros gay est une biographie visuelle superbement détaillée, riche de documents inédits ou rarement vus de ses archives. Le texte a été achevé quelques mois seulement avant le décès de l'artiste et a été entièrement approuvé par celui-ci, faisant de ce livre la seule biographie approuvée à 100% de cette légende gay responsable de la création de l'archétype gay musclé et moustachu des années 1960-1970. Avec une longue biographie, des photos et des illustrations suggestives, Tom of Finland: La vie et l'œuvre officielles d'un héros gay donne vie à l'icône dont les illustrations érotiques d'hommes ont influencé de nombreux artistes, notamment Robert Mapplethorpe et Bruce Weber.
