His work, mostly comprising\u00a0drawings of nude or partially nude men with exaggerated genitalia, has led him to be called\u00a0one of the biggest influences on 20th century gay culture.<br \/>\nRunning until 15 April, the exhibition is titled\u00a0<em>Ecce Homo \u2013 The Preliminary Drawings.\u00a0<\/em>As the title suggests, it will focus on his earlier work as he was still struggling for recognition. They show a persistence and a love for the male form, even when others weren&#8217;t quite so keen. For example, at his first exhibition in Hamburg in 1973, all but one of his drawings were stolen. Nevertheless, through his friendship with the radical <a href=\"https:\/\/www.sleek-mag.com\/de\/?s=Robert+Mapplethorpe&amp;submit=Search\" target=\"_blank\">Robert Mapplethorpe <\/a>and the patronage of\u00a0Durk Dehner, Tom Of Finland was able to increase his image, in the process raising the stature of homoerotic art in popular culture.<br \/>\nAlong with <a href=\"https:\/\/www.sleek-mag.com\/de\/?s=Raymond+Pettibon\" target=\"_blank\">Raymond Pettibon&#8217;s<\/a> new exhibition at the New Museum, it is clear that illustration is finally entering the realm of high art, worthy of\u00a0being shown alongside paintings, photography and sculpture. In conjunction with art that celebrates the male form, this is an exhibition to be very excited about.<br \/>\n&nbsp;<br \/>\n&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p class=\"size--small\"><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-medium wp-image-46063\" src=\"https:\/\/www.sleek-mag.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/02\/Untitled-1987-425x600.jpg\" alt=\"Tom Of Finland \" width=\"425\" height=\"600\" \/> &#8220;Untitled,&#8221;
