Samenvatting |
This exhibition was contemporary and historical, erotic and political. The title designates homoerotic art related to same-sex desire and love. Ars Homo Erotica is immersed in the tradition of culture while touching on the current politics of minority rights. It combines myths and the history of art with the contemporary and the debate on the condition of democracy. It builds on the philosophy of eroticism as an experience formative to humanist ideas and their affirmation of the joy of life and sex, even in the face of repression. The exhibition proposes a different perspective on the history of culture, the collection of the Museum, and the art of Central and Eastern Europe. Works from the collection of the National Museum in Warsaw as well as works of specially invited contemporary artists survey the history of culture, from Antiquity until the present, from the point of view of the homosexual imagination. This perspective points to a different canon of art and love in Western civilisation and liberates it of the heteronormative filter and taboo. The homoerotic is taken as an aesthetic and erotic quality present in visual representation. The selection criterion is not the artist's orientation, it is the theme or context of the work. To select works from the perspective of female and male homoerotic iconography is to queer the museum collection, to reach areas of the unconscious and to renew the methods of their presentation. It also aims to uncover and accentuate many forgotten artefacts and to highlight neglected meanings. The forms of male and female homosexuality have differed throughout history, a diversity of universality. Hence the transhistoric and eclectic profile of the presentation which introduces a world of images full of allusions, codes and subtexts. They were the only means of expressing homosexuality in times of oppression. The exhibition affords the opportunity to recall double meanings of mythological and biblical stories. |

Samenvatting |
Lavishly illustrated with over 175 black-and-white and color images that range from high to popular culture and from Ancient Greece to contemporary America, Christopher Reed's book reveals the deep linkages between art and homosexuality as we understand those terms. This book explores the interdependence between the identity of the artist and the homosexual. It offers a globe-spanning narrative that draws on artwork from all the important periods in the Western tradition, including classical, Renaissance, and contemporary, with special focus on the modern period. It was in the nineteenth century that the identities of the avant-garde artist and the homosexual took shape, and almost as quickly overlapped. The figures involved--Ingres, Courbet, Wilde, Whitman--are among that era's most iconic artists. The development of twentieth-century art--exemplified in the work of figures like Gertrude Stein, Jasper Johns, David Hockney, and David Wojnarowicz--this book argues is simply not understandable apart from the concurrent development of ideas about sexual identity. This volume challenges the ideas of many prominent art critics and punctures the platitudes surrounding discussions of both art and sexuality. The book discusses what it means to be an insider and outsider, how sexuality came to define one's fundamental humanity, and what people risk (and gain) in rejecting economic and social conformity. Reed shows that many of the core ideas that define modern thought more generally are nearly indecipherable without an understanding of this pairing. The debates that have surrounded artists and homosexuals in effect capture the dramatic history of the evolution of the modern mind. |

Samenvatting |
As the title Art Pride has it, this album takes the affirmative emancipatory perspective: too gay is good. Gay aesthetics is one of many equally important styles and narrations of Postmodern culture and democratic society. More than that, depending on the social and political context, it often unlocks the avant-garde revolutionary potential of art. In the Polish context, where homophobia is part of official politics and society is strongly heteronormative, gay culture has a subversive potential. This is why it is important to write about the aesthetics and politics of gay art in Poland. The album ART PRIDE. Gay Art from Poland, prepared by Pawel Leszkowicz, is a bilingual selection by the Author presenting Polish gay art from 1970s to 2010. Over 150 pictures, 40 artists and an in-depth commentary by Leszkowicz make this album a landmark publication. |

Samenvatting |
Uitgebreide gedegen en serieuze biografie over het leven en werk van even getalenteerde als gewelddadige Caravaggio, de Italiaanse schilder die leefde van 1571-1610. Hij schilderde met veel aandacht voor het naakte mannenlichaam, maar wordt in dit boek niet als homoman gezien. De auteur acht het aannemelijk dat Caravaggio seks had met mannen. Zeker is dat hij seks had met vrouwen. Veel aandacht voor de geschiedenis en het dagelijks leven in de grote steden dat geregeerd werd door de kerk in het Italie uit die tijd. |

Samenvatting |
This essay presents photography as a dramatic art. It mentions that the perception would enable the people to think how the photographs are seen as arenas rather than a stilled frame of filmic continuum. It explores the usage of portraiture in theatrical production by lesbian artists Claude Cahun and Marcel Moore. |

This book is not a panegyric of homosexuality. It is a scientific study led by Professor James Smalls who teaches art history in the prestigious University of Maryland, Baltimore. The author highlights the sensibility particular to homosexuals, and abandons all classical clichés and sociological approaches. This book examines the process of creation and allows one to comprehend the contribution of homosexuality to the evolution of emotional perception. In a time when all barriers have been overcome, this analysis offers a new understanding of our civilisation's masterpieces. |

Samenvatting |
Sunil Gupta was born in Delhi, India and has spent time living in Canada, London, and New York. His photographs have appeared in numerous solo and group exhibitions and are in the permanent collections of museums in the United States, England, and Australia. He writes frequently about gay culture and history. Arguably India's best-known working photographer, Gupta is also a well-known artist, curator and writer. For decades he has explored narratives of contemporary gay life in India and other parts of the world; tackled issues of gender and sexuality; and documented his own experiences living with AIDS. This volume chronicles Gupta's divergent series, which range from narrative portraits to fictional photo essays. Beautifully reproduced, these photos include his renowned series 'The Pre-Raphaelites'; heart-rending images of children living in an HIV-positive care center; 1970s street scenes from New York City's West Village; and his groundbreaking portraits of gay men, women and transgender individuals living in his native country and struggling against homophobic laws and culture. Subversive, whimsical, personal and political, Sunil Gupta's photographs have done much to raise awareness about-and overcome the taboos of-homosexual life throughout the modern world. |

Samenvatting |
The word Bloomsbury most often summons the novels of Virginia Woolf and E. M. Forster or images of artists and intellectuals debating the hot parlor topics of 1910s and 1920s London: literary aesthetics, agnosticism, defining truth and goodness, and the ideas of Bertrand Russell, A. N. Whitehead, and G. E. Moore. But the Bloomsbury Group also played a prominent role in the development of modernist painting in Britain. The work of artists Vanessa Bell, Duncan Grant, Roger Fry, and their colleagues was often audacious and experimental, and proved to be one of the key influences on twentieth-century British art and design. This catalogue, published to accompany a major international exhibition of the Bloomsbury painters originating at the Tate Gallery in London and traveling to the Yale Center for British Art and the Huntington Art Gallery, provides a new look at the visual side of a movement that is more generally known for its literary production. It traces the artists' development over several decades and assesses their contribution to modernism. Catalogue entries on two hundred works, all illustrated in color, bring out the chief characteristics of Bloomsbury painting--domestic, contemplative, sensuous, and essentially pacific. These are seen in landscapes, portraits, and still lifes set in London, Sussex, and the South of France, as well as in the abstract painting and applied art that placed these artists at the forefront of the avant-garde before the First World War. Portraits of family and friends--from Virginia Woolf and Maynard Keynes to Aldous Huxley and Edith Sitwell--highlight the cultural and social setting of the group. Essays by leading scholars provide further insights into the works and the changing critical reaction to them, exploring friendships and relationships both within and outside of Bloomsbury, as well as the movement's wider social, economic, and political background. With beautiful illustrations and a highly accessible text, this catalogue represents a unique look at this fascinating artistic enclave. In addition to the editor, the contributors are James Beechey and Richard Morphet. |
