Hardcover. Condition: New. Dust Jacket Condition: New. GIFT QUALITY. BRAND NEW IN ORIGINAL PUBLISHER SHRINKWRAP, UNOPENED. The flamboyant, forbidden gay art of George Quaintance, an artist ahead of his time yet never enjoyed mainstream fame during his lifetime; died in 1957, lived and worked during an era when homosexuality was repressed, when his joyful paintings and physique photos could not depict overt nudity so his art is inuendo. In an era before Stonewall, the sexual revolution, gay rights, Quaintance and his high camp erotic art existed in a demi monde of borderline legality. Half a century on, the masculine fantasy world created by Quaintance, populated by Latin lovers, lusty cowboys and chiselled ranch hands, retains its seductive allure. His highly prized paintings numbering just 55 rarely come to auction, instead selling privately. This is the consummate monograph of his entire body of work, and a very substantial book in depth, weight and sheer size. As the preeminent 'male physique' beefcake artist of the 1940s and early '50s, his work for Physique Pictorial, Demi-Gods and Body Beautiful inspired a generation of artists like Tom of Finland, Harry Bush, Etienne, and other, lesser stars in their constellation. Text in English, French, and German. George Quaintance (illustrator).…
