520    This bold, globe-spanning survey is the first book to 
       thoroughly explore the radical, long-standing 
       interdependence between art and homosexuality. It draws 
       examples from the full range of the Western tradition, 
       including classical, Renaissance, and contemporary art, 
       with special focus on the modern era. It was in the modern
       period, when arguments about homosexuality and the avant-
       garde were especially public, that our current conception 
       of the artist and the homosexual began to take shape, and 
       almost as quickly to overlap. Not a chronology of gay or 
       lesbian artists, the book is a fascinating and 
       sophisticated account of the ways two conspicuous 
       identities have fundamentally informed one another. Art 
       and Homosexuality discusses many of modernism's canonical 
       figures--painters like Courbet, Picasso, and Pollock; 
       writers like Whitman and Stein--and issues, such as the 
       rise of abstraction, the avant-garde's relationship to its
       patrons and the political exploitation of art. It shows 
       that many of the core ideas that define modernism are 
       nearly indecipherable without an understanding of the 
       paired identities of artist and homosexual. Illustrated 
       with over 175 b/w and color images that range from high to
       popular culture and from Ancient Greece to contemporary 
       America, Art and Homosexuality punctures the platitudes 
       surrounding discussions of both aesthetics and sexual 
       identity and takes our understanding of each in 
       stimulating new directions.
