REX
Born Joseph C. Fifield · American draftsman of the gay erotic underground
REX drew the male body the way few dared to — without apology, without euphemism, and without the protective distance the art world demanded of its subjects. For half a century he pursued a single, unwavering vision, and paid for it with the recognition he was never granted in his lifetime.
