Description: Artist GEORGE QUAINTANCE, was way Ahead of his TIME! He sadly lived in a very repressive period for gay people, and never achieved the proper recognition for his immense talent! His beautiful paintings only numbered 55, but as you will see in the photos he was highly imaginative, and had a great color sense. The paper of this book is so helpful in conveying his brilliance. He not only had a ability to represent the male nude, but his genius was mixing different styles in a very whimsical way. Had he lived today, no doubt he would have been the darling of the art world, instead of being swept under the rug. The book has such excellent reproduction values, plus it's gigantic size, that you can feel the textures of his oil paintings seemingly up close!! One senses he was influenced by a myriad of styles, and his compositions are spectacular.
