Former Creative Director of Bruno Gmunder Books, Mischa Gawronski, will be joining Stonewall Executive Director Hunter O’Hanian for the virtual tour of the exhibition.

Tom of Fin­land is a gay icon. His draw­ings of well-built men in rugged attire and his depic­tions of man-to-man lust, shaped a strong image of gay identity. He drew males hav­ing sex with­out shame, proud and full of confi­dence. Tom of Fin­land is the artist’s name of Touko Laakso­nen (1920—1991). He signed his erotic work “Tom” and when his draw­ings were first pub­lished in 1957, the now world-famous “Tom of Fin­land” was born.

Artist, writer, and editor Mischa is the former Creative Director of Bruno Gmunder Books in Berlin and is responsible for producing dozens of books on gay art. He is the cofounder of Independent Gay Projects in Berlin.
