The Queer Encyclopedia of the Visual ArtsCleis Press, 2004 - Počet stran: 373 A distinctly queer presence permeates the history of the visual arts -- from Michelangelo's David and homoerotic images on ancient Greek vases to Frida Kahlo's self-portraits and the photography of Claude Cahun and Robert Mapplethorpe.
