Bruce Sargeant and His Circle: Figure and Form

 

 

With his paintings of undressing athletes hanging in numerous Abercrombie & Fitch flagship stores across the world, Bruce Sargeant (who died in 1938 from a 'tragic wrestling accident' at the young age of 40) finally gets his due with the 2010 Chronicle Books release, Bruce Sargeant and His Circle: Figure and Form.

 

 

The imaginary Bruce Sargeant is actually one of the many alter egos of artist Mark Beard, who envisioned Bruce as his gay great-uncle. A homoerotic masterpiece with a twist, the book features the work of Bruce and his close circle (all alter egos of Mark Beard): Bruce's Classicist teacher Hippolyte-Alexandre Michallon, his Modernist lesbian best friend Edith Thayer Cromwell, and Abstract Expressionist art-school rival Brechtholdt Streeruwitz.

The Art Of George Quaintance

 

 

Taschen reintroduces the story and homoerotic work of iconic physique painter George Quaintance (1902–1957) with their new title, The Art Of George Quaintance [ US | UK ]. Born and raised on a farm in rural Virginia, Quaintance was way ahead of his time, forging the way for the acceptance of homotography in popular culture. Taschen playfully explains, "Had he been born a few decades later, we might know him today as a multi-tasking celebrity stylist, as a coach on Dancing with the Stars, or perhaps as the fine artist he aspired to be."

The Lady is Dead by Roy Raz

 

Director Roy Raz leaves me quite speechless with his new avant-garde video 'The Lady is Dead.' The captivating clip is set to the song 'In His Shirt' by The Irrepressibles, and well... you just have to watch it after the jump (kinda NSFW) because I can’t really describe it.
