Description
The Young and Evil Queer Modernism in New York, 1930-1955 by Jarrett Earnest In the early twentieth century, American culture was grappling with the contradictions of modernity. For artists and writers who were openly gay, this meant navigating a world where their very existence was criminalized and pathologized. Yet, they found ways to express themselves freely, creating a vibrant and provocative art scene that defied the conventions of modernist painting. Through never-before-exhibited photographs, sculptures, drawings, ephemera, and rare paintings, The Young and Evil reveals the little-known history of this group of artists. Edited by Jarrett Earnest, who also curated an exhibition on the subject, this book offers a unique glimpse into their lives, work, and intellectual pursuits. Featuring new scholarship by art historians Ann Reynolds and Kenneth E. Silver, as well as an interview with Alexander Jensen Yow, The Young and Evil is a groundbreaking exploration of queer modernism in New York during a pivotal period in American cultural history.
