Throughout his long career, Lear primarily explored homoeroticism in a truly unique style. He is an artist who remained true to his style and genre, at a time when exploring the male form in art was truly unfashionable. His work is in the collections of the Philadelphia Museum of Art, Woodmere Art Museum, the Detroit Institute of Arts.
