Artworks Sadao Hasegawa

Mythology and male anatomy. His works inherit a Japanese momentum, this very notion of directness hidden behind surreal expression. The explicit, masochistic and sexual seemingly tolerated when stylised. And almost like a gay artist's tradition, Sadao Hasegawa committed suicide following the example of Mishima Yukio and leaving behind works of undaunted kitsch.
