Re: feminist art
Let's be clear in that Capricorn is not the first to "raise" the issue of gay art (here at talkback), nor is he the first to address the "art of gayness". Warhol, a very influential artist of the past 50 years was always (whether recognized or hyped as such during his life) an artist of gayness (something very related to 'camp' if not many times camp itself). Duchamp, maybe he's very influential bachelor art; Cornell, maybe he's very influential closet case art. The art of gayness appeal? Maybe.
I remember cracking up a whole segment of the bar after watching a somewhat uncharacteristic k.d. lang video. "I don't know if I like (her doing) that," they said. "You just don't get it. It's dyke camp."
