About the Item

Graphite and coloured pencil on paper, signed and dated (lower right), 36cm x 44cm, (45cm x 53cm framed). The picture is behind museum quality non-reflective UV glass. Throughout his long career, Lear primarily explored homoeroticism in a truly unique style. He is an artist who remained true to his style and genre, at a time when exploring the male form in art was truly unfashionable. His work is in the collections of the Philadelphia Museum of Art, Woodmere Art Museum, the Detroit Institute of Arts.
