Queer British Art

In 1967, homosexuality was finally decriminalised. Ranging from the playful to the political, the explicit to the domestic, these works showcase the rich diversity of queer British art. This publication will feature sections on ambivalent sexualities and gender experimentation amongst the Pre-Raphaelites; the new science of sexology's impact on portraiture; queer domesticities in Bloomsbury and beyond, eroticism in the artist's studio and relationships between artists and models, gender play and sexuality in British surrealism, and love and lust in sixties Soho. It features works by major artists such as Simeon Solomon, John Singer Sargent, Clare Atwood, Ethel Sands, Duncan Grant, John Minton, Angus McBean, David Hockney and Francis Bacon, alongside less well-known material, such as ephemera, personal photographs, film and magazines.
