Leontinemay, this Leyendecker ‘Arrow Shirt Man’ painting was featured at the Brooklyn Museum’s fantastic exhibit about desire and difference in American portraiture last year (Hide/Seek — I’m constantly citing it).

Basically, it was shown as an example of homosociality and homoeroticism in American illustration and advertising. Isn’t that awesome?

If I manage to drag you all to the Soc. of Illustrators tonight, I think they have a couple in their permanent collection. Possibly including this one? I can’t remember.
