First published in 1986, this text brings together the work of
artists who were gay, lesbian or bisexual. It freely discusses and
analyzes painting, sculpture and photography which reflects the
artist's sexual orientation, placing the work within its artistic,
social and historical context, and challenging the view that issues
of sexual identity have no place within art. This edition traces
the influence of Renaissance artists on later generations of
artists; it also looks at the way photography was appropriated to
express a range of sexual interests, and scrutinizes the codes used
to convey feelings which could not be openly shown. Artists
discussed include: Duncan Grant, Ethel Walker, Francis Bacon, David
Hockney, Andy Warhol, Robert Mapplethorpe, Harmony Hammond and Jody
Pinto. It also covers the lives of artists in order to illuminate
their work, particularly in the view of social and legal
constraints. Other themes include the limitations of representation
and the role of art in defining and shaping attitudes.
