Desire, eroticism, playing with gender \u2013 these qualities in the works of queer artists are not regarded here as external to the creative process, but rather as foundational. By approaching the art through a perspective of queer aesthetics, the aim is to discover the visual worlds of hitherto little-known figures of international Modernism, from Eastern and Western Europe and from North and South America.<\/p>\n
Experimenting with alternative lifestyles is reflected in new visual languages, perspectives, and a different aesthetic. \u201cModern utopias of abolishing the gender binary,\u201d \u201cQueer avant-gardes\u201d and \u201cThe potential in queer readings of abstraction\u201d are only some of the compelling topics presented in this volume, which also recounts the history of queer lives during war, persecution, and resistance.<\/p>\n
