    Discovering George Quaintance
  

*by N***Z on Reviewed in the United States 🇺🇸 on April 19, 2016*

I wasn't familiar with George Quaintance and only stumbled upon him while researching early American gay literature.  After reading part of his biography I was intrigued with the dichotomy between his upbringing and his flamboyant tendencies.  It is almost as though the conventional gender roles of the time, perhaps exaggerated through the lens of a country boy in Virginia, are translated in his depiction of strong, virile men-- many with softer, almost submissive figures uniformly focused on the central male "hero".  The book is much larger in size than I expected but I am grateful since it shows more of the detail in Quaintance's work.  I am tickled that these homoerotic paintings are exceedingly sensual while being completely devoid of any full frontal nudity.  The more you read about his life and work, the more interesting a character he becomes.  In one part of the story we see Quaintance offering hairstyle imaginings for women where the model would pose for Quaintance and he would draw them but with an innovative hairstyle of his own conception.  This is literally the earliest version of hairstyle preview software now used in high end salons.  I think Quaintance is an underrated and under appreciated gay history icon.

*by R***J on Reviewed in the United States 🇺🇸 on June 21, 2016*

.....most gay men (over 40) with a fair amount of education in history, literature, or the arts know who Quaintance was or at least heard of him. If you didn't know who he was or even if you did, you have to have this book. Quaintance’s work….especially way back then when one could get arrested for anything remotely illustrating “gay” , was an incredible work of art that every gay man should see…..and straight confident men too with a taste for out of the norm artwork.

*by J***. on Reviewed in the United States 🇺🇸 on July 4, 2014*

Enjoyed this beautiful collection of the homoerotic artwork of George Quaintenance whose output was mostly in the decade 1947-57.  His erotic drawings of the male physique rank among the greatest of his era -- comparable with Tom of Finland, Etienne.  The compositions, many set in the Southwest, are also well-constructed.  The quality of paper in this book is excellent. It has small versions of each Quaintenance artwork and full color plates of some of the best known.  High quality work at a relatively inexpensive cost.  Highly recommended.
