description: Baudelaire once wrote, Does one show the audience all the rags and cosmetics, the pulleys and chains, the corrections and scribbled proofs--in a word, all the horrors that make up the sanctuary of art? Charles Henri Ford does just that in these provocative photographs he shot from 1930, as a young man in Mississippi, through the 1960s, when he navigated the rarified realms of the queer-tinged avant-garde. These candid images include Ford's notorious autoerotic self-portraits, along with photographs of famous friends and lovers. Also here are his gorgeous images of Mexico, Cuba, Tahiti, France, and England.
