The Sexual Perspective: Homosexuality and Art in the Last 100 Years in the West by Emmanuel Cooper
Requirements: ePUB Reader, 18.3MB
Overview: First published in 1986 to wide critical acclaim, The Sexual Perspective was a ground breaking book, bringing together the work of artists who were gay/lesbian/queer/bisexual. For the first time painting, sculpture and photography which reflected the artist’s sexual orientation was freely talked about and analysed, and placed within its artistic, social and historical context, challenging the conventional view that issues of sexual identity had no place within art.
The Sexual Perspective traces the influence of Renaissance artists on later generations of artists; it also looks at the way photography was appropriated to express a range of sexual interests, and scrutinises the codes to convey feelings which could not be openly shown. Artists discussed include Duncan Grant, Ethel Walker, Francis Bacon, David Hockney, Andy Warhol, Robert Mapplethorpe, Harmony Hammond and Jody Pinto.
Genre: Non-Fiction, History, Art
