About This Item
Washington, DC: The National Portrait Gallery, Smithsonian Books, 2010. Hardcover. VG. Siena-gray buckram, gilt letters on spine, brown & duotone illus. dust jacket, 295 pp., 132 BW and color illus., weighs 4.75 lbs. Issued in conjunction with a 2010 exhibition. "Tracing the defining presence of same-sex desire in American portraiture through a seductive selection of more than 150 full-color illustrations, drawings, and portraits from leading American artists. Arcing from the turn of the twentieth century, through the emergence of the modern gay liberation movement in 1969, the tragedies of the AIDS epidemic, and to the present, [this book] openly considers what has long been suppressed or tacitly ignored, even by the most progressive sectors of our society: the influence of gay and lesbian artists in creating American modernism." (dj) With an essay by Jonathan Katz, and an annotated and illustrated catalogue of 98 items, outlined by David C. Ward. Thought provoking at the very least.
