Died on this day: joyous connoisseur of firm male flesh, George Quaintance (3 June 1902 – 8 November 1957), whose wildly idealized, instantly recognizable and ultra-camp homoerotic beefcake art made him a predecessor to Tom of Finland. Pictured: Nudes Emerging from a Water Lily, 1937.

“As art historian Christopher Reed argues, ‘The Wilde trials seemed to reveal homosexuality as the secret behind the enigmatic passions of the Aesthetes, tainting the entire movement, all of its products, and even the idea of aesthetic sensitivity.’
Indeed, the modern identities of ‘the homosexual’ and ‘the artist��— both considered manifestations of innate predispositions—developed nearly simultaneously in the nineteenth century, as both creating art and committing sodomy moved from activities to ways of being. ‘Artistic’ quickly became euphemistic slang for ‘queer.’ Painter Paul Cadmus remembered how the association had transferred to the American scene by the 1930s. ‘They just said, ‘He’s an artist.’’ American psychiatrists, too described men suspected of homosexuality as ‘aesthetic in temperament.’ Thus when [Bob] Mizer [influential founder of the homoerotic Physique Pictorial magazine] adopted this language, praising [artist George] Quaintance for his ‘neo-aestheticism’ and imagining his audience as ‘the limited aesthetic group,’ he was signaling to and helping construct a distinct gay identity among his readers.”

We might as well just call this the "George Quaintance Series." Must be a homo-age.
