SUMMARY:Book Talk\: Painted Men in Britain\, 1868–1918 by Jongwoo Jeremy Kim\, Ph.D.
DESCRIPTION:An original and overdue exploration of the representation 
 of masculinity in British academic art in the late nineteenth and earl
 y twentieth centuries\, Painted Men in Britain\, 1868–1918 analyzes 
 transgressions of gender and sexuality as represented in paintings by 
 Leighton\, Sargent\, Tuke\, and their contemporaries in the Royal Acad
 emy. This volume treats paintings as eloquent objects\, no narratives 
 of which are too elusive to be traced\, and challenges conventional bi
 naries of masculine versus feminine or heterosexual versus homosexual.
  Consulting not only the paintings themselves but also newspapers\, jo
 urnals\, criticism\, novels\, and poetry of the day\, Painted Men argu
 es against the misconception of British academic art as merely reactio
 nary and even blind to the dynamism of its own time. Instead\, this ar
 t is shown to engage with broader social attitudes and contemporary se
 xual debates. As the book reveals the complexities of specific paintin
 gs\, it illuminates different and competing attitudes toward masculini
 ty and modernity in British art of the period.
