The cloths hang low and loose, as if curious hands have already disarranged them – they can barely cover anything anymore. Each embraces the other's waist – firmly, naturally, as if they belong there. Passion can't go any further. Desire becomes physical.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eSimeon Solomon painted rooms like this; he would have loved to paint people this way – the most significant gay artist of Victorian England, who clothed male love in sacred imagery because he was not allowed to openly display it. We paint in his style and after his genius – and show what he could never show.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eHe was no outsider. The Royal Academy exhibited his work, Rossetti valued him, Wilde called him one of the greatest artists of his time. Then came 1873 – his arrest because he loved a man. Those who knew him fell silent. Not because they had forgotten him, but because loyalty was dangerous in Victorian England. He died in a London workhouse in 1905.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eWhat society destroyed, no workhouse can extinguish. His genius lives on – in every painting that shows what he was never allowed to show.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cblockquote\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eAbout Simeon Solomon (1840–1905)\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eHe belonged to the elite of the Victorian art world – masterful, esteemed by Rossetti and admired by Wilde. His paintings depicted longing between men, veiled in gold and halos. In 1873, he was arrested. The art world remained silent. He died in poverty. Today he is an icon – the gay artist whom Victorian England could not tolerate.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/blockquote\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003ca href=\"https:\/\/www.kunstwerk-bilder.shop\/blogs\/news\/simeon-solomon-genie-geaechteter-wiederentdeckter\"\u003eMore about Simeon Solomon – his life, his downfall, his rediscovery →\u003c\/a\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eTechnical Details\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAvailable in 20x20 cm, 30x30 cm, 50x50 cm, and 60x60 cm.
