Very good (previous owners bookplate to ffep)

This provocative book explores the representation of male homosexuality in American art in the first half of the twentieth century. Focusing on the work of Charles Demuth and Marsden Hartley, it uncovers the sexual codes and references in their art and explores how the two men reconciled their production of a self-consciously "American" art with the representation of their own marginalized status as both homosexuals and avant-garde artists.
