description: In this collection of separate essays, each focusing on the work of a significant gay artist, James Cary-Parkes draws together some of the recurring themes of gay art in the 1980s and 1990s: sex, love and desire; the body; death, AIDS and anxiety; and oppression, repression and prejudice.Celebrating a plurality of readings on gay life, Cary-Parkes explores a diverse range of artistic forms through which these ideas are expressed, from photography and fine art, to sculpture and installation art.Highly illustrated with over 70 black and white and colour pictures, this beautifully produced book is accessible to the general reader and provides, for the student, a critical and sensitive exploration of some of the most powerful and highly-charged artistic work to appear this century.
