Sadao Hasegawa

Sadao Hasegawa (長谷川サダオ) was a prominent homoerotic artist. In November 20 1999 he committed suicide by hanging himself in Bangkok. A small stone with a painted portrait of Yukio Mishima was found beside him, a wonderfully Japanese tragic gay way to go.
(via kurutta)

his images explode with sexuality, and meaning, and thus constitute one of the most honest, powerful practices of image-making I've ever encountered.
