This book is not a panegyric of homosexuality. It is a scientific study led by Professor James Smalls who teaches art history at the prestigious University of Maryland, Baltimore County. The author attempts to highlight the sensibility particular to homosexuals in creation, and abandons all classical clichés and sociological approaches. The process of creating is examined and allows one to comprehend the contribution of homosexuality to the evolution of emotional perception. In a time when all barriers have been broken, this analysis offers a second look and a new understanding of our civilization's masterpieces.
