3. VISUAL ART
This roster focuses on gay and lesbian art in the Euro-American tradition since
the Renaissance, taking the view that Greco-Roman, Islamic, and Asian art are
best examined in their own contexts. Also, monographs on individual artists are
excluded from the listing.

audience, only a small selection is offered here.
