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, These pictures ... manage to reveal so much about the graphic depiction of gay male sex during a time when it was illegal, and thus dangerous to keep, let alone collect. -GLBT Round Table Newsletter (American Library Association)

SynopsisOn the heels of his bestselling and award-winning book Out/Lines: Underground Gay Graphics From Before Stonewall , Thomas Waugh offers more historic and erotically charged drawings, depicting aspects of gay male sexuality that were once hidden from public view. The more than 200, never-before-published images in Lust Unearthed are from the private collection of Ambrose DuBek, a Hollywood costume and set designer (his work included George Cukor's 1939 film The Women ) who died in 2002 at the age of 87, and whose estate included a wealth of erotic materials, including books, periodicals, prints, and films. DuBek was a passionate advocate and patron of the arts who felt that life and the body were to be celebrated; he had no patience for other people's attempts to make him feel guilty for his attractions and desires, nor any qualms about the different worlds in which he operated. The images from DuBek's collection published here are remarkably frank and explicit depictions of gay men "in action" created by numerous artists both famous and unknown, and produced during a time when even nude images of men were illegal, and thus rare. Lust Unearthed brings these images out of the boxes in which they were carefully kept and into the light of present-day, where expressions of gay male sexuality can be validated and indeed, celebrated. Waugh's text is a remarkable history lesson that illuminates a once-furtive underground culture. Gay porn for the thinking man, Lust Unearthed will beguile and arouse. Features an introduction by Willie Walker, the founding archivist at the Gay, Lesbian, Bisexual and Transgender History Society in San Francisco, where DuBek's erotic materials were donated. Thomas Waugh is the author of the Lambda Literary Award shortlisted Out/Lines and Hard to Imagine: Gay Male Eroticism in Photography and Film from their Beginnings to Stonewall . He is a professor of film studies and director of the Programme in Interdisciplinary Studies in Sexuality at Concordia University in Montreal., These 200-plus, never-before-published images are from the private collection of Ambrose DuBek, a Hollywood costume and set designer. The erotic illustrations help to illuminate the history of gay male desire., Thomas Waugh offers more historical and erotically charged drawings, depicting aspects of gay male sexuality that were once hidden from public view. The over 200, never-before-published images are from the private collection of Ambrose Dubek, a Hollywood costume and set designer. These images are remarkably frank, explicit, and sometimes outrageous depictions of gay men in action created by numerous artists both famous and unknown, and produced during a time when even nude images of men were illegal. Gay porn for the thinking man, Lust Unearthed will beguile and arouse.
