Stroke: From Under The Mattress To The Museum Walls

Yesterday I spent an incredible day in Manhattan.  I went to see the exhibit "Stroke: From Under The Mattress To The Museum Walls" at the Leslie-Lohman Museum of Gay and Lesbian Art.  It was such an incredibly inspiring exhibit, displayed in their wonderful exhibition space.  
I can't begin to describe how exhilarating it was (for me) to see original art by some of my creative heroes such as: Quaintance, Etienne, Tom of Finland, Rip Colt, Harry Bush, Mel Odom, Kent, Robert W. Richards, Rex and Michael Breyette.  I have been inspired by so many of the artists featured in this exhibit, it was spectacular to see such a comprehensive collection.  

Additional information on the exhibit, the artists and the selected works can be found on the museum's website: http://leslielohman.org/exhibitions/2014/stroke/stroke-1.html
