COWBOYS AND OTHER GODS Extra-Large 2012 Calendar
Features 12 reproductions of Quaintance’s paintings, printed on lavish Italian Acquerello art paper. Each colour reproduction is perforated for easy removal and framing.
George Quaintance was an artist ahead of his time, a man who forged several successful careers, yet never enjoyed mainstream fame. But Quaintance, who died in 1957, lived and worked during an era when homosexuality was repressed, when his joyful paintings existed in a demi-monde of borderline legality. Half a century on, the masculine fantasy world he created, populated by Latin lovers, lusty cowboys and chiseled ranch hands, retains its seductive allure. His highly prized paintings – numbering just 55 – rarely come to auction, instead selling privately for undisclosed sums.
12 colour images, spiral binding, 13.5” x 19” (34.3 x 49 cm)
