Anyway I didn’t get big into his history but there really isn’t much I’ve been able to find on Gruau. But his legacy lives on and I hope I’m half the artist he is one day.

Here’s my favorite piece of his featuring a male.

Just.

UGH.

It’s this ideology that drew me to using Gruau’s men as inspiration for our main man Benjamin for Heartbreak Hotel. His character is based around the man he depicts and how he’d fit into the world of espionage and politics of Heartbreak Hotel.

He captured the masculine figure and pairs it perfectly with fashion. There’s only one other artist who manages this as well as Gruau if not better and that’s Leyendecker (a topic for discussion another time).

But what makes these amazing is the sheer sexuality and nudity.

Okay. While I wait for my laundry, how about a little history and inspiration?

I do replicas of my favorite vintage illustrations to help get a feel for the period, and this is a personal favorite based on the hands down best fashion illustrator
