Review: Enjoyed this beautiful collection of the homoerotic artwork of George ... - Enjoyed this beautiful collection of the homoerotic artwork of George Quaintenance whose output was mostly in the decade 1947-57. His erotic drawings of the male physique rank among the greatest of his era -- comparable with Tom of Finland, Etienne. The compositions, many set in the Southwest, are also well-constructed. The quality of paper in this book is excellent. It has small versions of each Quaintenance artwork and full color plates of some of the best known. High quality work at a relatively inexpensive cost. Highly recommended.
Review: Fabulous!! - This is a large book(16" tall) printed on heavy stock paper with large prints and fold outs. If your into erotica of all era's of art this is another for your collection. Its simply a fun book to have and it is a true representation of erotica art of that era especially in the advertising world. I'm glad I made it a part of my collection.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Discovering George Quaintance
*by N***Z on April 19, 2016*

I wasn't familiar with George Quaintance and only stumbled upon him while researching early American gay literature. After reading part of his biography I was intrigued with the dichotomy between his upbringing and his flamboyant tendencies. It is almost as though the conventional gender roles of the time, perhaps exaggerated through the lens of a country boy in Virginia, are translated in his depiction of strong, virile men-- many with softer, almost submissive figures uniformly focused on the central male "hero". The book is much larger in size than I expected but I am grateful since it shows more of the detail in Quaintance's work. I am tickled that these homoerotic paintings are exceedingly sensual while being completely devoid of any full frontal nudity. The more you read about his life and work, the more interesting a character he becomes. In one part of the story we see Quaintance offering hairstyle imaginings for women where the model would pose for Quaintance and he would draw them but with an innovative hairstyle of his own conception. This is literally the earliest version of hairstyle preview software now used in high end salons. I think Quaintance is an underrated and under appreciated gay history icon.
