Outlaw Representation: Censorship & Homosexuality in Twentieth-century American Art

This is a controversial and landmark study about homosexuality, politics, and the censoring of art. Conflicts surrounding homosexuality and creative freedom have shaped the history of modern art in America. Outlaw Representation traces this history by showing how gay artists have both resisted and responded to the threat of censorship. It features nearly two hundred images, ranging from the work of Robert Mapplethorpe to gay liberation posters.
