review: Editorial Reviews Review "One of the most beautiful and comprehensive retrospectives on the impact of queer art throughout history."— OUT Online "[A] comprehensive and definitive survey of artworks that have constructed, contested, or otherwise responded to alternative forms of sexuality... [has] an accessible, authoritative voice, with a wealth of rarely-seen imagery."— Aspire: Design and Home Magazine "A fascinating mix of work and approaches, and draws out the often hidden and subversive nature of queer art that came from necessity thanks to the persecution of the LGBTQ+ people through history and still in many places today... A superb book, not only does it provide a fascinating insight into a genre that was for so long hidden or overlooked, but the unique culture that created it. The importance of this book is as much in it's existence as it is due to it's contents. It's an insight into a history and art that too many of us are unaware of, even as members of the LGBT community."— LondonLampost.com "A comprehensive survey of over 250 artists, exploring the history of queer representation over the past 130 years."— Whitewall "Born out of repression and adversity, queer art has always been about stepping outside the comfort zone and searching out other ways of being. Now, its politically charged legacy is being celebrated in a new book."— HuckMag "There's much to absorb in this expanded reissue."— New York Times "An expanded reissue of the 2013 LGBTQ fine art canon, much of it benefits from a close read of the fine print, owing to its discrete or symbolic nature."— Honolulu Star Advertiser "An important resource for students of art, art history, and gender and sexuality studies, this new edition of Art and Queer Culture is recommended for academic libraries."— Booklist About the Author Catherine Lord is professor of studio art at the University of California, Irvine. Richard Meyer is Robert and Ruth Halperin Professor in Art History at Stanford University.
