Art and Queer Culture
All the work on display inArt and Queer Cultureseems to share a certain 'tude. I can only call it defiance. The editors write that they selected pieces that "draw out... the deviant force of homosexuality," leading to unexpected but illuminating choices, especially for well known artists. Given how much the status of queers has changed--from criminals to freaks to marriage material--this book could become the standard text for understanding their impact on art history. --Cynthia Carr
