Patron
in Passing: Fritz Lohman
December 31, 2009
|
Charles
Leslie and Fritz Lohman |
It is with deep regret
that we announce the passing of a dear friend, and a giant in the
world of erotic art.
Fritz Lohman and Charles
Leslie cofounded the Leslie/Lohman Gay Art Foundation, a unique
non-profit arts cultural institution established in 1990 to be a
safe haven for that art which is often excluded from main stream
exhibitions and textbooks and looked upon as taboo or less than
important or embracing by historians and critics.

BREYETTE Men in Briefs
5th Anniversary Ltd Ed Special Print
24" x 8", limited edition run of 25 |
Michael Breyette is a
self-taught artist. Like many other fellow artists, he does not
recall when he began drawing. But having started at a very young
age, he soon realized he had an aptitude for it. Born in rural upstate
NY, a region that can sometimes parallel the stereotype of the red-neck
South, his earliest works were often of an escapist nature and typically
fell within the realms of science fiction or fantasy.
