A new opportunity to admire once more the art of George Quaintance is the 2012 wall calendar. George Quaintance (see 7.24.11) was an artist ahead of his time, a man who forged several successful careers, yet never enjoyed mainstream fame. Quaintance, born in 1902 and died in 1957, lived and worked during an era when homosexuality was repressed, when his joyful paintings and his high-camp erotic art only existed in a demi-monde of borderline legality. Published by Taschen on August 2011, "Cowboys and Other Gods" has 28 pages, 19,4x13,9 inches, $ 24.99. Buy it at Amazon at the end of the page.
