Before he became one of the most celebrated and highly influential figures of twentieth century gay culture, Touko Valio Laaksonen faced challenges from his sister and Finnish society because of his art, which he started doing after returning home from serving in World War II. However, it was these homoerotic drawings of muscular men that gave him fame in post-war Helsinki and he also inspired a generation of gay men with his signature work, "Tom of Finland".
