Pop Art, comic aesthetic – Ben-Day dots, primary colors, black outlines, flawlessly executed. This image could be by Roy Lichtenstein. The technique is spot on: the raster, the vibrancy of the colors, the clean lines. Red, yellow, blue – Lichtenstein would have approved of the execution.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eBut Lichtenstein never painted gay motifs. Not a single one. Yet he was right in the middle of it – in the New York Pop Art scene of the 1960s, in close proximity to Andy Warhol. Warhol, who was gay himself and never hid it. Whose \"Sex Parts\" series from 1978 directly and unequivocally depicts gay sex. Warhol filled the gap that Lichtenstein left. Lichtenstein never saw it – or didn't want to see it.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cblockquote\u003eRoy Lichtenstein (1923–1997), American painter and one of the main representatives of Pop Art. He translated the visual language of comic strips and advertising graphics into large-format paintings – with Ben-Day dots, primary colors, and black outlines. His works hang in MoMA, the Guggenheim, in the great collections of the world. Gay motifs: none.\u003c\/blockquote\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cmeta charset=\"utf-8\"\u003e\u003cspan\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eTwo men in the shower\u003c\/strong\u003e, that's our poster in the unmistakable Lichtenstein style. Water streams down their backs – one blond and bent over, hands resting on his knees. An invitation to what else. The other reaches for him, he's fucking him. The comic style does not make the motif more harmless – on the contrary, it makes it sharper. It takes the explicit and places it in a visual language that museums know, art books know, everyone knows. \u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eBelow the image, we quietly wrote, without exclamation marks: \u003cem\u003eLove is Love – Sex is Sex.\u003c\/em\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eGay sex.
