Inhalt
A white supporter of the Harlem Renaissance, Van Vechten was a portrait photographer as well as the author of popular novels and criticism, and is very much worthy of rediscovery today. The departure point for this incisive volume is a series of nude, interracial, homoerotic photographs that Van Vechten took in the '30s and '40s. In contextualizing them, the author explores the complex interplay of race, sexuality and masculinity in 20th-century art and culture, including the history of nude male photography, from the late 19th century work of Thomas Eakins to the more recent career of Robert Mapplethorpe. Drawing on a wide range of primary and critical sources, he not only uncovers a vital link in American cultural history but makes an important contribution to understanding contemporary culture.
