DuBek was a passionate advocate and patron of the arts who felt that life and the body were to be celebrated; he had no patience for other people's attempts to make him feel guilty for his attractions and desires, nor any qualms about the different worlds in which he operated. The images from DuBek's collection published here are remarkably frank and explicit depictions of gay men \"in action\" created by numerous artists both famous and unknown, and produced during a time when even nude images of men were illegal, and thus rare. \u003ci\u003eLust Unearthed\u003c\/i\u003e brings these images out of the boxes in which they were carefully kept and into the light of present-day, where expressions of gay male sexuality can be validated and indeed, celebrated.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eWaugh's text is a remarkable history lesson that illuminates a once-furtive underground culture.
