Taschen reintroduces the story and homoerotic work of iconic physique painter George Quaintance (1902–1957) with their new title, The Art Of George Quaintance [ US | UK ]. Born and raised on a farm in rural Virginia, Quaintance was way ahead of his time, forging the way for the acceptance of homotography in popular culture. Taschen playfully explains, "Had he been born a few decades later, we might know him today as a multi-tasking celebrity stylist, as a coach on Dancing with the Stars, or perhaps as the fine artist he aspired to be."
