Course Description
This course examines the flourishing of queer artistic production (painting, sculpture, film, photography, performance, and conceptual art) in the United States after World War II. It will chart how--despite attempts to censor or erase them--artists working with lesbian, gay, otherwise non-heterosexual, and/or transgender themes made major contributions to the development of art, culture, society, and politics in the United States.
