PICTURES THAT WERE NEVER PAINTED*
By Gays for Gays | We Make Gay Art Visible
* Almost all of the artists to whom we attribute our images never painted gay subjects, although many were gay themselves. We show what they were not allowed to paint.

The Forbidden Embrace - Realistic Gay Art in Classical Style | Artwork Pictures
They stand before each other – naked, vulnerable, ready.
Two young men in an idyllic landscape, surrounded by green hills and a quiet lake. Their hands touch, their lips just a breath apart. Eyes closed, the world around them forgotten. They are about to kiss – but this moment before, this tension, this longing – that is what the image captures.
A golden frame is printed into the motif, giving the impression of a museum painting. But it hangs in no museum. Because this picture was never painted.
What if the Old Masters had been allowed to paint gay love?
This artwork shows what could have existed – a tribute to the classical painters of the 18th and 19th centuries who captured beauty and emotion. But they were not allowed to show gay love. We paint the pictures that would have been forbidden back then.

Nothing is more beautiful than...
In Japan, during the annual fertility festival, they parade giant symbolic phalluses through the city. I confess, I, being crazy about cocks, wish we had this gesture in our culture too. As boys, we wake up one morning with a wooden feeling between our legs, and from then on, there's no peace. During puberty, it stands up at every inappropriate moment, no matter what we're thinking. Later, it reminds us every morning, having turned into a latte, that it controls us. That's no real excuse for harassing women with dick pics. But as gay men, we at least have one privilege: we are quite free to show each other our tools and be ecstatic about the other's. To art that elevates our fantasy
