Description:
Queere Moderne - Queer Modernism 

Desire, eroticism, gender play - these aspects in the works of queer artists are no longer seen as external factors of artistic creation, but rather as fundamental. The aim is to discover the visual worlds of previously little-known protagonists of international modernism from Eastern and Western Europe, North and Latin America from the perspective of queer aesthetics, reflecting experimentation with alternative lifestyles in new visual languages, perspectives and a different aesthetic. ‘Modern utopias of the abolition of gender binaries’, ‘Queer avant-gardes’ or ‘The potentials of queer readings of abstraction’ are just some of the exciting topics presented in this volume. At the same time, it tells the story of queer life in a time of war, persecution and resistance.
