基本説明
Carl Van Vechten (1880-1964) was perhaps the most notorious white patron of the arts of black America, particularly during the Harlem Renaissance. His photographs of the era's celebrated African American cultural figures are well-known, but until recently his private, homoerotic interracial photographs were sealed in an archive.
Full Description
Focuses on a cache of homoerotic, interracial male nudes and discusses the images in the context of primitivism's relationship to modernism, camp sensibility and theatricality, white privilege and exotic tourism, the vibrancy of underground gay culture during periods of political oppression, and the politics of spectatorship
