What a beautiful book of art and graphics across the world and the decades. Showing love and beauty of all kinds in both art, photograph and sculpture form. This is an informative view of queer art and is a beautiful discovery on every page.

This is a gorgeous and extremely well done book I’d LOVE to pour over a physical copy of. Unfortunately it was very difficult to read on my phone - because for comics (and I guess books with pictures as well) NetGalley doesn’t give you the option to send it to your Kindle, and having to constantly zoom in and out to be able to read/look at the photographs and paintings really hindered my reading experience. Still, this was so good and I’m so glad I decided to pick it up. It has so many beautiful and powerful images and a great dose of history and humanity as well. I loved that there were artists from all over the world included, most of whom I’d never heard of before. Some of my favorite art pieces from the book include:

Thank you to NetGalley and Quarto Publishing Group for the digital copy in exchange for an honest review.

I like how this book is divided by theme and time period so you can see how things have changed over time. The art is beautiful and the subjects are often so brave. This would be great as a gift book and for library collections, or as a coffee table book.
Thanks to NetGalley for letting me read this

This is a beautiful and informative overview of queer art, mostly contemporary, from all over the world. The prints were exquisite and the text was informative and interesting. The chapters were thematic and well thought out. I had not known about many of the artists featured in this book, and I am excited to explore more of their work. I can't wait to see this as an actual book because I'm sure the art will be glorious on the page.

I would highly recommend this to all bookstores and libraries as a wonderful addition to their art book collection.

Thank you to the publisher and NetGalley for this ARC!

I really liked this book. I've wanted to learn more about art from different artists, and this was a good book to learn about different artists as an intro to the art world. I like the layout of the book and how each piece had an explanation and history for it. I loved the format of the book and the design of it. It was a great book to read to start to get into reading and learning about art.

This book highlights notable artists and individual artworks that have contributed to cultural framework of queer art and artists. I enjoyed the wide selection of artists that are featured with a great balance of big names and those that I was not aware of and gave me new insight and info into them. Artworks are selected from Postmodern period (1970s-1990s) as well as later Contemporary works of today. I found this nicely mixed and the categories/chapters well curated and organized. I will definitely be suggesting this to students who want to explore more about queer art and artists, and I know I myself will also reference some artists I learned about from this book in some of my lectures about Postmodern art culture.
