PICTURES THAT WERE NEVER PAINTED*

* Almost all of the artists to whom we attribute our images never painted gay subjects, although many were gay themselves. We show what they were not allowed to paint.

Gay Art in the style of Simeon Solomon - Nude and Gay in the Ancient Bath
Warm water, golden light. Two gay men, young, beautiful, intimate and naked; and the scene in the picture is perfect. Loving glances, lust for each other. They want to enjoy their nakedness together. What is about to happen, both have desired.
Simeon Solomon, the great painter in whose style we have created this picture, had to hide gay longing in figures of saints and myths – because he was not allowed to openly show loving men. Yet he knew very well what happens between men when no one is watching – because he himself was gay. We paint in his spirit – and show what the exceptional artistic talent was never allowed to openly show.
He belonged to the elite of the Victorian art world. Rossetti valued him, Wilde admired him, the Royal Academy exhibited his work. In 1873 he was arrested for loving a man. The art world remained silent. He died impoverished in a London workhouse in 1905 – the gay artist whom Victorian England could not tolerate.
This picture is for all who know what this gaze means.
About Simeon Solomon (1840–1905)
Solomon painted longing – between men, veiled in gold and halo, because he was not allowed to show it openly. Rossetti valued him, Wilde admired him. 1873 arrest, silence, impoverishment. 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
