Queer Art: From Canvas to Club, and the Spaces Between by Gemma Rolls-Bentley
4.0
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:
