Description
Queer British Art 1867-1967 by Clare Barlow explores the pivotal century between the abolition of the death penalty for sodomy in Britain and the decriminalisation of homosexuality. During this period, artists, collectors, and consumers expressed transgressive identities, desires, and experiences through their work. The publication delves into various aspects of queer British art, including ambivalent sexualities among the Pre-Raphaelites, the impact of sexology on portraiture, and eroticism in the artist's studio. It also examines queer domesticities in Bloomsbury, relationships between artists and models, and gender play in British surrealism. This first comprehensive publication to focus exclusively on British queer art offers a rich and diverse showcase of works that range from personal expressions to public declarations of identity.
