Chuck Arnett Retrospective Poster from 1979. Showing of Paintings and Drawings at The Stud, No Name Bar, The On Theatre, & The Red Star Saloon. Chuck Arnett (1928-1988) was a San Francisco artist, dancer, leather community activist and documenter of the leather bar scene during gay liberation’s golden age in the 1960s through the late ’70s. The majority of Arnett’s work was inspired by and made for the bars and back rooms he frequented. Sex, drugs, and rock ‘n’ roll are unapologetically front and center, a potent mix reflected in styles that veer wildly from rough sketches of men fucking in bathhouses to carefully executed psychedelic oils. Measures 11 x 14 inches
