One quick and efficient way to deny a culture and to rewrite history is to destroy its art. Considering how much art was destroyed and hidden over the centuries by various religious and political forces, it is amazing that so much still exists.
A new exhibit at the Leslie-Lohman Museum of Gay and Lesbian Art speaks to the importance of recognizing our history in art and culture. It traces the same-sex gaze as grounded in the classical form, from antiquity to contemporary times. Curated by Jonathan David Katz, "Classical Nudes and the Making of Queer History" establishes the centrality of the classical nude in the historical development of same-sex representation by following a chronological timeline of four major periods.
