A Colombian painter, draughtsman and lithographer, known for his depictions of the male nude, with figures often in highly erotic, if not tortured, poses. He was one of the few Latin American artists of his time to be open about his sexuality, both before and after his relocation to Paris. From 1968 to his untimely death from AIDS in 1995, Caballero lived and worked in Paris. Caballero's pictures are exclusively devoted to the human body. 'In my paintings,' he wrote 'one is dos not know whether the figures are dying or having an orgasm'.

Born in Paris, Andre Delfau was a French artist, and internationally acclaimed stage set and costume designer who worked world-wide from the 1930s to the 1980s. Early in his career, Delfau created fashion designs for such major Paris couture houses as Balmain, Jean Patou and Balenciaga. He completed set designs and costumes for the Royal Danish Ballet, the Royal Ballet of Great Britain, the Paris Opera, the Dance Theater of Harlem, the Ruth Page International Ballet, the Civic Ballet of Chicago, the Chicago Opera Ballet and the Lyric Opera of Chicago, among others.
