QUEER BRITISH ART: 1861-1967

A fascinating exploration of gay-themed artwork selected from the century between the 1860s and 1960s. During this period, queer artists’ productivity flourished in a British society that was still staunchly homophobic. This book offers a wide array of output, filled with images of love, desire and eroticism, which helped to form a sense of community at a time when gay, lesbian and bisexual categories were unrecognised in society. Simeon Solomon, Clare Atwood, Ethel Sands, Francis Bacon and David Hockney are among the many contributors in this wonderful book.
