Well before Andy Warhols rise to the pinnacle of Pop Art, he created and exhibited seductive drawings celebrating male beauty. Andy Warhol Love, Sex, & Desire: Drawings 1950-1962 features over three hundred drawings rendered primarily in ink on paper portraying young men, many of them nude, some sexually charged, and occasionally adorned with whimsical black hearts and delightful embellishments. They lounge or preen, proud of or even bored by their beauty, while the artist sketches them, rapt. They rarely engage with their keen observer, and likewise Warhols focus is on their form, their erotic qualities, and unbridled sexuality. If his subjects are content to revel in their attractiveness, so too is Warhol. His confident hand illustrates a multitude of colorful characters, yet also reveals much about this enigmatic artist. Warhol was already a booming commercial illustrator when he exhibited studies from this body of work at the Bodley Gallery on New Yorks Upper East Side in 1956. He mistakenly saw these illustrations as his way of breaking into the New York art scene, underestimating the pervading homophobia of the time. While he never saw through his plan to publish the drawings as a monograph, he did produce more than a thousand elegant, seemingly effortless drawings from life. This volume finally brings his project to fruition by gathering his most striking images, published here for the first time in a comprehensive book and chosen by the Andy Warhol Foundation for the Visual Arts. Edited and featuring an introduction by the Foundations Michael Dayton Hermann, and essays by Warhol biographer Blake Gopnik and art critic Drew Zeiba. The inclusion of poems by James Baldwin, Thom Gunn, Harold Norse, Essex Hemphill and Allen Ginsberg create moments of introspection, which expand on the themes and moods present in the drawings. In style, the drawings evoke the sketches of Jean Cocteau and even Matisse: highly distilled and sure of line, yet loose. The sly voyeurism, meanwhile, is entirely Warhols own, and even the most risqu drawings contain a kind of droll humora sense of ironic detachmentthat would become a Warhol trademark.

The illustrations are imbued with an air of affection that seeps through the pages. Even Warhols phallic portraits feel fanciful and oddly romantic, cinched with a bow and presented like a gift that will keep on giving. * Interview magazine * throwing light on this little-known, intimate and intoxicating addition to the Pop artists canon. * The Art Newspaper * Far from the cold voyeur his critics made him out to be, Warhol emerges here as a lyrical draughtsman of unabashed eroticism. * theguardian.com * For an artist known for his loud, vivid screen-prints, theres something surprising about the tenderness and delicacy of Andy Warhols line drawings, gathered together here for the first time. * Financial Times * Colourful and sexually charged characters, all revealing more of the most enigmatic artist than you might have known. * gq-magazine.co.uk * ...reveling in the pleasure of youth, beauty, and the flesh. * anothermag.com * These drawings may reveal more than his self-portraits ever did. * anothermag.com * Throughout the 1950s, Warhol was one of a tiny handful of artists who insisted on building their art around issues of gay identity. * Artnet *
