GEORGE QUAINTANCE CLASSIC {ISLAND BOY} 8X10 [PRINT] S/H UK - FRANCE and THE EU ($15.95) PRIORTY MAIL (6-10 days) Although now obscure, George Quaintance was one of the most influential figures in a unique American style of art and one of the most flamboyant and interesting gay characters for four decades of the twentieth century. Though few people outside the gay world know it, Quaintance was a pioneer of male physique painting. This genre heralded a new American gay consciousness in the early 1950s. The images are far from pornographic; they are even tame by current social standards. Nevertheless, their controversial gay content and message prevented Quaintance from being judged in the mainstream art world. His only gallery exhibition occurred when a friend loaned Quaintance's painting, The Crusader , for a display of works of contemporary American artists in the late 1950s .
