The paintings of Australian artist James T. Gleeson (1915-2008) have appeared here several times. The best known ones look like surreal seascapes, sometimes with huge shellfish and hints of volcanoes. Here is a link to my past posts:
Today, however, we will look at a dozen of his drawings, all of which present different viewpoint.
There is a good article on James Gleeson's nude male drawings called "The Cosmic Erotic" by Jeremy Eaton. The author writes "Drawings, collages and paintings from the 1940s to the 70s reference either his photographs of Frank O’Keefe (his partner)or slicked-up, muscular models copied or traced from his collection of photographs and slides by Bruce Belas (Bruce of LA) and Don Whitman that are now in his archive."
