Gut
Buch, das gelesen wurde, sich aber in einem guten Zustand befindet. Der Einband weist nur sehr geringfügige Beschädigungen auf, wie z.B. kleinere Schrammen, er hat aber weder Löcher, noch ist er eingerissen. Bei gebundenen Büchern ist der Schutzumschlag möglicherweise nicht mehr vorhanden. Die Bindung weist geringfügige Gebrauchsspuren auf. Die Mehrzahl der Seiten ist unbeschädigt, das heißt, es gibt kaum Knitter oder Einrisse, es wurden nur in geringem Maße Bleistiftunterstreichungen im Text vorgenommen, es gibt keine Textmarkierungen und die Randbereiche sind nicht beschrieben. Alle Seiten sind vollständig vorhanden. Genauere Einzelheiten sowie eine Beschreibung eventueller Mängel entnehmen Sie bitte dem Angebot des Verkäufers.

Lavishly illustrated ... by having it on our coffee tables, we can prove to everyone who comes into our home that gay art is more than just Tom of Finland and Tom Bianchi. ― EDGE, Gay historian and archivist Ross Higgins recounts the artist's amazing life story in Peter Flinsch: The Body in Question .... Flinsch's work is striking for many reasons--not least of which is its very existence. At a time when many gay artists were masking their sexual orientation, Flinsch was defiantly, brazenly erotic in his treatment of the male form. ― The Advocate, Flinsch's art is unmistakably that of a gay man's imagination. All of his works are decidedly erotic, alive with worship of the male physique.... The Body in Questionis a long overdue testament to the power of Peter Flinsch's art, and one anticipates that the book will help to bring it to the attention of many more people.... [It] is a fitting retrospective for an artist in the twilight of his career, telling an inspirational story about the power of art and the survival of a persecuted artist. ―Gay & Lesbian Review, Peter Flinsch: The Body in Question is an entire artistic life composed of stunning art and a story and text that's as stunning as the art. This is Thomas Waugh's Out/Lines brought to full, poignant life, with the flesh and blood of its creator providing the historical context it deserves. Higgns' essay is simply, heartbreakingly excellent. ―Chris DeVito, CD Syndicated, Lavishly illustrated & by having it on our coffee tables, we can prove to everyone who comes into our home that gay art is more than just Tom of Finland and Tom Bianchi. ― EDGE, Lavishly illustrated with pen-and-inks, watercolors and pastels, and there are even a few photographs of tabletop torsos, his rare ventures into sculpture. ― Bay Area Reporter, Flinsch's art is unmistakably that of a gay man's imagination.

Synopsis
Peter Flinsch, who passed away in March 2010 at the age of eighty-nine, was one of the art world's unsung heroes; for more than 60 years, he produced hundreds of paintings, drawings, and sculptures which depict the eroticized male body. In 2006, he won the first Lifetime Achievement Award from the Leslie/Lohman Gay Art Foundation in New York, and now, for the first time, his work has been collected in a beautiful, full-colour edition that celebrates his life and art. His biography, included in this book, is as remarkable as his work. Born in Leipzig, Germany in 1920, he was obliged to become a member of the Hitler Youth Movement, and subsequently a soldier in Nazi Germany. During the war in 1942, he was accused of homosexuality after getting caught kissing a fellow soldier; he was court-martialed and sentenced to prison, a decision that may have saved his life, as his old unit was sent to the Russian Front and few survived. After the war in East Germany, he was assigned to produce portraits of Communist heroes before he moved to Paris and finally to Canada in 1952. Free from the threat of persecution, in an age when the gay community was starting to emerge from the shadows, Flinsch began to produce a huge volume of art that over the decades has been acclaimed for its sinewy, modernist interpretations of the male body. His work and this book are a fascinating chronicle of his life as a courageous, openly gay man., A fascinating chronicle of his erotic artist Peter Flinsch's life, with an extensive collection of his art., At the age of eighty-seven, Peter Flinsch is one of the art world's unsung heroes; for the past sixty years, he has produced hundreds of paintings, drawings, and sculptures that depict the eroticized male body.
