Stay Up Late

Genre Scenes

Stay Up Late is a 1992 watercolor painting by Brian Swords depicting two anthropomorphic white rats embracing on a bed. Swords donated it, along with other paintings, to an annual art auction for the public television station WITF-TV in central Pennsylvania between 1988 and 1993, a series whose growing explicitness led the station to ban erotic artwork from the auction in 1993.
