Brewster Ladies' Library Great LGBTQ+ Artists with Suzanne Altman

This lecture covers artists from the Renaissance to the present day who are known to be LGBTQ, though it was often not publicly acknowledged at the time, and how their identity impacted their work. It also explores artists whose art was used for social change or whose sexual identity fundamentally shaped their creativity. We'll discuss the artists Michelangelo, John Singer Sargent, David Hockney, Keith Haring, Diane Arbus, and many more.
