Hello there Naven! I stumbled upon that threesome with the boy giving that hand signal - and had to find out more about this guy. The whole French matelot scene is pretty juicy - reminiscent of Genet for me - Querelle.

Stunning work, great talent.

I had never heard of this artist before! Who knows, maybe Tom saw his works and was inspired.

Deliciousdeity said...

Hi CAAZ, yes for its time it seems, so racy!

Deliciousdeity said...

Hi Huston, very Laaksonen-esque haha! The past, when sex with men was like a game of street dice - you never knew what you were going to get!

Are the drawings and last photo from way back, or recent? Good work, nevertheless. Tony Italian.

Caillaux, l'enfant terrible des illustrateurs. «1905-1977»
Dessins de garçons de joie de la prostitution masculine et les expériences sexuelles des garçons homosexuels pris sur le vif qui a choqué les réactionnaires prudes.
Le vérité choque ceux qui vivent dans le déni de la réalité.
Caillaux était un artiste et un acteur avec un cercle d'amis qui comprenait Genet, Cocteau, Carné, Bérard, Voinquel, Dermit et Marais.

Hello there Tony! I suspect they are from the 30s or 40s or a bit later. I am 'guestimating' haha from his dates and the style of the clothes.

Un super cercle d'amis! J'aurais adoré connaître ce groupe!
