Nightcharm, one of our favorite websites, recently highlighted the work of French artist Benoît Prévôt, who's kind of like what Tom of Finland would be if he'd existed at the turn of the last century and drew illustrations for Gentlemen's Quarterly. Prévôt's artwork is male erotica, but set against a backdrop of Gilded Age glamor and style. Also: crazy penis fountain!
In place of Tom's musclebound cops and leather daddies,
Prévôt uses square-jawed men in tuxedos and strapping lads in 1930s
swimwear.
Prévôt's influences range from John Singer Sargent to
illustrator J.C. Leyendecker, and he loves square faced men "the sort
you see on Jude Law, Bruce Willis and a porn actor that I love, Blake
Harper." All we have to say, so do we!
