[update]
The painting above was inspired by this photograph from Boris Vsevolodovich Ignatovich (1899-1976), taken in 1935, named In Showers.
From the photograph which has its own beauty, Deineka reinterpreted the scene in an obvious homoerotic way.

Really nice!
Because you are able to see the beauty in men beyond the simple and gross nakedness of the flesh.
I think those painters are not so straight!
Not every painter is/was gay like Michel-Angelo or da Vici :-)
But some of those here were most probably lovers of the male body beyond the simple drawing studies.
Russian Deineka (last pic) was gay for sure. He painted these guys based on a photograph of actual soldiers having a shower, and the way he chose to represent them in his painting makes his orientation obvious.
I'd have to find back that photograph and update the post, could be interesting. Thank for the idea Xersex!
