Review # 1 was written on 2013-12-28 00:00:00 Donald Polhemus Fastidiously engages the contentious relationship between art--visual/ performative -- and public reception in the format of case studies that center around male-male homoeroticism in 20th c. America and how these various forms of expression have been sublimated, expressed,and repressed by both institutional and cultural identities with special emphasis toward government funded projects. It studies canon artists with impressive investigative pedanticism that has rightfully put this text forth as a staple for not only its invaluable bibliography but also for its enduring legitimization of previously (and continuously) stigmatized bodies of work; or as Meyer would have it, "the value of unrespectability."

Review # 2 was written on 2009-07-23 00:00:00 Wayne Cardinal This is a fantastic book. Meyer's writing is clear and beautifully constructed and his analysis of individual works is insightful and spot on as is the analysis of the context in which these works were created. I highly recommend this book to anyone interested in the visual arts, gay or straight.
