Gay Art Of The 1990s: BOYS WILL BE BOYS Comments (0)

Scan 28(Images by Matthew Rettenmund)

I don't know what possessed me, but a photo album I used to create a little gay art book that's been sitting in my apartment for 30 years cried out, so I scanned it and uploaded it on my Substack, along with a short essay about my past as an artiste.

I don't know — I'm still happy with this little book. It's found art and not a measure of my technical skills, but it's interesting and I think would interest me if I saw something similar for sale.

If nothing else it's so, so, so 1990s queer NYC. Those club invites! I used to chop 'em up and use 'em to death.

Check it out here — I really appreciate your subs. It's $8 a month to start. I also post a lot of stuff that is totally free, so please don't hesitate to also just sign up with your email and have a meander around.

Tamara & The Scene: A Review Of THE TRUE STORY OF TAMARA de LEMPICKA & THE ART OF SURVIVAL Comments (0)

The True Story of Tamara de Lempicka & the Art of Survival from director Julie Rubio just had its world premiere on October 11 at the Mill Valley Film Festival October 11 in advance of what the filmmaker hopes will be a wider availability on a streamer.

Adam-and-eve-lempicka-streisand-boycultureThe film is not lavish and stylized and artful like its subject, one of the most important painters of the 20th century, but what it has going for it is an unabashed curiosity not about her sensational personal life but her artistry — and her tenacity.

Taking this tack, the doc is inherently feminist, but not in a superficial, girl-power way, in an unapologetically academic way. Her life and oeuvre are dissected in minute detail via lively interviewrs with experts and even her direct descendants, with an accent on de Lempicka's dramatically modern viewpoint.

What would shock us today from an artist? What is left? It is hard to imagine, but exciting to learn more about a woman who accomplished many firsts just 100 years ago, including being a rare woman artist capturing female nudes, and portraying female sensuality and eroticism.

The True Story of Tamara de Lempicka & the Art of Survival is especially helpful in its inclusion of a wealth of her original sketches and paintings, not just the famous ones.

The more recent aspects of the artist's fame — her co-opting by Madonna, Barbra Streisand's ownership of her work, her record-setting auction sales — provide the denouement, which makes an excellent case for the belief that this artist is, to this day, shamefully underrepresented in major U.S. museums. It's a shame the recent Broadway musical failed, as it makes one wonder when her time will truly come.
