Gay Art - Solomon's Bathhouse 19th Century. And we write GAY LOVE there
Here we show you a special picture. Particularly unusual. Particularly sexy... but let's start from the beginning. Our picture shows a transformation – an artistic trick, if you will. A painting in the style of the 19th century, and in the middle of it two men who clearly do not belong to that era. One wears briefs – and we write GAY LOVE on them. The other, with the open velvet blazer, shows his naked torso. Forehead to forehead, they stand by the pool of a Victorian bathhouse.
Simeon Solomon – one of the most important painters of Victorian England, arrested in 1873 for loving a man – painted precisely this backdrop. Marble columns, mosaic tiles, golden light through high arched windows. He also painted men who desired each other. But never openly – he painted sacred images with the faces of beautiful, delicate, desirable gay young men. Those who wanted to see it, saw it. The others saw pious art. Solomon smuggled gay desire into the churches of Victorian England – and no one noticed; gay connoisseurs, of course, excepted. What he had to hide, our two gays, whom we have transported to the 19th century, wear on their briefs. Gay Love.
This is history painting in oil. What art history omitted is now hanging on your wall.
About Simeon Solomon (1840–1905)
Simeon Solomon was one of the celebrated painters of Victorian England – until his arrest in 1873 for homosexual acts catapulted him out of the art world. Rossetti admired him, Wilde adored him. What remained: pictures full of hidden longing, saints with the faces of desirable young men. Today an icon of gay art history.

Nothing is more beautiful than...
In Japan, during the annual fertility festival, they parade giant symbolic phalluses through the city. I confess, I, being crazy about cocks, wish we had this gesture in our culture too. As boys, we wake up one morning with a wooden feeling between our legs, and from then on, there's no peace. During puberty, it stands up at every inappropriate moment, no matter what we're thinking. Later, it reminds us every morning, having turned into a latte, that it controls us. That's no real excuse for harassing women with dick pics. But as gay men, we at least have one privilege: we are quite free to show each other our tools and be ecstatic about the other's. To art that elevates our fantasy
