Happy birthday to artist Charles Demuth (Nov 8, 1883)!
A modernist painter known for his Precisionist style and queer sensibility, Demuth turned everyday life—and desire—into radiant geometry. His work “I Saw the Figure 5 in Gold” remains an icon of American modern art.

‘Calla Lilies (Bert Savoy)’
#CharlesDemuth, 1926: one of Demuth’s series of portraits of his friends (#GeorgiaOKeefe, etc.) using elements symbolic of their lives. Famous female impersonator & vaudeville star #BertSavoy had died, struck by lightning, in 1923.
‘Turkish Bath’ #CharlesDemuth 1918.
These baths were sanctuaries for #gaymen in those years & in this rare glimpse of life in those baths the man with the moustache is identified as a self-portrait, the baths as the #LafayetteBaths in #GreenwichVillage.
‘“Fairies” were effeminate men who wore unusual and distinctive garb (sometimes women’s clothing, but often eccentric articles like red ties or brightly colored suits) and behaved in a distinctively “feminine” manner, including holding their wrists limply and speaking in higher-pitched voices. These stereotypical behaviors signaled their identity and sexual availability to “queers” and “trade.” Non-effeminate men attracted to other men self-identified as “queer.” “Trade” were men who identified as “normal” (and often had wives or girlfriends) but had sex with other men.’ From ‘Celebrating Our Rich And Surprising History In George Chauncey’s Groundbreaking “Gay New York”’ Posted on October 01, 2017 by Amy Heller https://milestonefilms.com/blogs/news/celebrating-the-rich-and-surprising-history-of-george-chauncey-s-groundbreaking-gay-new-york
sailors, themselves either queer (left) or ‘trade’ (right), and the man in the brown coat is identified as a self-portrait.

![‘In another painting from the same era, Charles Demuth drew upon the importance of sailors in gay imagination. His painting Dancing Sailors (1917) incorporates gender bending and homosociality, and he emphasizes sailors’ buttocks, as did [Paul] Cadmus. Though it is ambiguous whether the sailors on the left and right are dancing with women, fairies, or men, the couple in the middle cannot be mistaken, as it is obvious that they are two men embracing each other and dancing together.’

The Parisian artistic community was accepting of Demuth's homosexuality. After his return to America, he retained aspects of Cubism in many of his works. #CharlesDemuth
