Everyday Joys in Twenty-First Century Queer American Painting: Ecstatic Ordinarinesses

Taken Together, The Chapters In This Book Outline A Theory And A Practice Of Painting Ecstatic Ordinarinesses In Contemporary, Diverse American Queer Life. To Do So, It Offers The First Sustained Study Of Five Individually Renowned Twenty-first-century Queer Painters-gio Black Peter, Doron Langberg, Jonathan Lyndon Chase, Salman Toor, And João Gabriel-who Have Achieved Substantial Recognition From International Museums, Galleries, And Critics Working With Short-form Reviews But Not Yet From Academics Producing Large-scale Studies. This Study Argues For A Broad Understanding Of What Constitutes The Queer American Art Of Our Time And For A Broad Sense Of Who Can Help To Fashion American Culture And History, Including Art By African American, Southeast Asian, Muslim And Jewish American, South American, And Gender Non-conforming Queer Artists. The Book Will Be Of Interest To Scholars Working In Art History, Contemporary Art, Gender Studies, And Queer Studies-- Provided By Publisher.
