    Offers a superb selection of paintings, drawings, sculptures, and photographs ranging in time from classical antiquity to the modern age and covering the gamut of artful sexual imagery.

A Gay Thing Happened on the Way to the Forum


Bert Shrader - 1968
    But the games take on a life of their own as the fake athletes begin to compete for real. Unanticipated complications ensue, from the open-air orgy in the vineyards that gets seriously out of hand to the aloof and supposedly-straight Travis' realization that he just might be falling in love. The result is good, naughty, come one, come all fun with togas and nude wrestling.

Aesthetics and the Arts


Lee A. Jacobus - 1968
    It is written not for the advanced student or the philosopher but for the non-specialist interested in all the arts, and concerned with developing and approach via aesthetics which can give him greater enjoyment and access to these arts.These essays have been carefully chosen to provide basic philosophical insights into the nature and limitations of specific art forms, such as the dance, painting, literature, architecture, and the modern film.Such major talents as Herbert Read and Bernard Berenson writing on art - Susanne K. Langer and Aaron Copland on music - Frank Lloyd Wright and Lewis Mumford on architecture - to name only a few - contribute their brilliant insights to the basic problems of aesthetics.
