The first homosexuals : the birth of a new identity 1869-1939
Jonathan D. Katz (Editor, Curator), Johnny Willis (Editor, Curator), Wrightwood 659 (Gallery) (Host institution)
Traces the evolution of the homosexual identity through an archive of more than 300 paintings, drawings, sculptures, prints, photographs, and film stills from around the world-- many presented in a queer, global, and colonial context for the first time. Accompanying the works are twenty-two original, insightful essays by leading experts in art and queer history, each focusing on one geographical region-- from Japan to Australia to the Indigenous populations of South America. Ranging from well-known masterpieces to works by unknown artists and pieces rarely considered in the context of sexuality, offers a stunning and illuminating look at the first self-consciously queer art
