With a charming combination of learned art-theory essays introducing each chapter and amusing captions situating each drawing, Waugh honors the iconic erotic power of fleshy graphic fantasties with discerning zeal and un-ironic relish. -Reviewed by Richard Labonte, [A] must-read. . . The book features 200 beautifully documented erotic drawings. . . from an era where pornography—much less gay pornography—was not tolerated. —Hour Magazine, [A] must-read. . . The book features 200 beautifully documented erotic drawings. . . from an era where pornography-much less gay pornography-was not tolerated. -Hour Magazine, Waugh is rather like a demented DeMille, assembling an epic cast of beefcake and bikers, soldiers and sailors for our viewing pleasures. The fact that such material was perfected at the time of its creation—and still a bit raunchy by some standards, even todays;makes the whole effort all that more delicious. —Outlooks, [Thomas Waugh's] Out/Lines and Lust Unearthed are ravishing, titillating, and theoretically engaged; a pair of joyfully written reflections on the hardcore, the softcore, and everything in between. And while the world of leather daddies, swishy bellhops, and precocious sailors-on-leave might seem a far cry from the lofty theoretical debates that coloured my meeting with Waugh, a careful reading of this wonderfully depraved stash lends it an unexpected and, I think, timely, political gravity. - Art Threat, With a charming combination of learned art-theory essays introducing each chapter and amusing captions situating each drawing, Waugh honors the iconic erotic power of fleshy graphic fantasties with discerning zeal and un-ironic relish. -Richard Labonte, Waugh's tone throughout his writing. . . is perfectly pitched. . . It's a delicate balancing act of serious history, the risibility of lust and the tenderness of desire. -BorderCrossings, Out/Lines is a pleasure for those who like porn and enjoy thinking about its significance. —XTRA!

Synopsis
Gay male representation of sexuality has a long history of varied visibility and acceptance, but the 100 or so years of queer life before Stonewall were a period of unprecedented self-identification as well as renewed pressure to hide and suppress the erotic imagery of gay men in western culture. Out/Lines features a resurrection of erotic gay images, once virtually buried and invisible, that circulated in clandestine communities whose sexualized visibility was a potentially devastating risk--a wealth of approximately 200 previously unpublished "obscene" images from the queer pre-Stonewall underground. Drawn mainly from American, German, Italian, and French sources, these images will both broaden and tantalize our view of queer culture with a surprising range of historical styles and motifs. While many of the artists remain anonymous or unknown, some have begun to have increasing notoriety on the erotic gay market. Works include images from a 1945 booklet of 20 unofficial illustrations for Jean Genet's Our Lady of the Flowers ; the British artist known as "Hank," whose steamy couplets called "Homo Hotel" featured hot, horny sailors and Cliff Richards haircuts; the increasingly well-known American artist Neel Bate, whose nom de crayon was "Blade"; and numerous contemporaries and admirers of the legendary erotic artist Tom of Finland. Waugh's narrative considers both fantasy and history by exploring the cultural and erotic dynamics and the social context in which these secret, sexualized images were created and collected. Historically rigorous and aesthetically explicit, Out/Lines is sure to shock and astonish. Thomas Waugh teaches film studies at Montreal's Concordia University. He is a critic, public lecturer, and festival programmer, and is the author of Hard to Imagine: Gay Male Eroticism in Photography and Film from their Beginnings to Stonewall ., OUT/LINES features a resurrection of erotic gay images that circulated in clandestine communities during the 100 years before Stonewall - including 200 previously unpublished 'obscene' images, which will both broaden and tantalise our view of queer culture with their surprising range of historical styles and motifs, including the work of legendary erotic artist Tom of Finland. Complemented by 8 pages in full-colour, Waugh's historical rigorous narrative explores the cultural and erotic dynamics and the social context in which these secret, sexual images were created.
