Sadao Hasegawa (1945-1999) was a one-of-a-kind artist who made his mark in the closed world of gay art. Hasegawa's paintings, concealing minority sexual preferences, effortlessly transcend the everyday, capturing the fantastical essence of the private realm.
From his early romantic works drawn under the influence of psychedelic drugs, to works that interweave Hasegawa’s longing for foreign and exotic lands, erotic images of men created for magazines and manga, this book covers his vast array of styles. Major retrospective from Gallery Naruyama in Tokyo.
