This text considers the relationship among homosexuality, censorship, and self-representation in American art from 1934-1990 by examining a series of historical episodes in which work by gay male artists was suppressed or censored. Beginning with Paul Cadmus''s painting and ending with an exploration of the AIDS activist artwork by the collective Gran Fury, Meyer focuses particularly on the work of Cadmus, Andy Warhol, and Robert Mapplethorpe. In this well-illustrated book, Meyer documents how gay artists secured a visual language of self-representation and how that language was contested by the larger culture. Meyer reveals how the outlaw status of homosexuality itself constituted part of the pictorial languages by which gay artists signified their difference from and defiance of the mainstream.

Paul Cadmus entró en la escena del arte en la década de 1930 con pinturas de semi-mundos urbanos de ensueño: cuadros turbulentos de beatniks, marineros y prostitutas. La base de su trabajo siempre ha sido la maestria en dibujo del artista, que se ve en cientos de dibujos de modelos masculinos desnudos, entre ellos su amante y musa de toda la vida, Jon Anderson. Paul Cadmus: 49 Drawings recopila estos dibujos nunca antes vistos por primera vez, presentando un cuerpo de trabajo singular que ejemplifica el dominio clasico de Cadmus, canalizado hacia un enfasis obsesivo en las zonas eroticas de su modelo. Presentada en un sobre estampado, esta es una coleccion historica de arte queer de un maestro del siglo XX, cuyas imagenes se complementan con una introduccion de Graham Steele que detalla la importancia de Paul Cadmus en su carrera en el mundo del arte, ademas de un ensayo de Richard Meyer, destacado estudioso del arte queer, asi como un debate trascendental con los pintores Nash Glynn, Doron Langdon y Oscar yi Hou, moderado por el curador y critico Jarrett Earnest. Una rara exposicion de un importante conjunto de obras desconocidas de un importante artista del siglo XX y una contribucion sustancial a el estudio y legado del arte queer.
