Item Details

Los Angeles, Tom Of Finland Company, 1999, Softcover

Good

Quarto, original pictorial wrappers, 96 pp. Illustrated throughout in color and black-and-white with Etienne’s signature hypermasculine homoerotic art. Published by the Tom of Finland Company, this is the first volume devoted exclusively to Etienne (Dom Orejudos, 1933–1991), a Chicago-based artist whose work paralleled and complemented that of Tom of Finland in shaping 20th-century gay male erotic iconography.

Includes tributes and context from the Leather Archives & Museum, situating Etienne’s work within the broader history of leather culture and post-Stonewall gay identity. The rear cover features one of Etienne’s iconic figures with the caption “Use a Rubber,” underscoring the intersection of erotic art and AIDS-era safe sex advocacy.

Condition:

Near fine, light handling to covers. Bright and clean internally.
