Opis

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.
