LUCIAN FREUD

2011-07-23T01:39:00.000-07:00

Boy by Lucian Freud.

On 20 July 2011, Artist Lucian Freud, died of a 'mystery' illness, aged 88.

Lucian Freud was the brother of Clement Freud and uncle of Matthew Freud and Emma Freud.

Lucian Freud

Matthew Freud is married to Elisabeth Murdoch, daughter of Rupert Murdoch.

Clement Freud helped the parents of missing child Madeleine McCann by cooking them dinners in Praia da Luz (aangirfan: FREUD, MADELEINE McCANN, MURDOCH)

Emma Freud recommended the 'bed-hopping bisexual' Millie Dobie to Gordon Brown (aangirfan: GORDON BROWN AND HIS TRAINER)

Boy by Lucian freud

Lucian Freud is rumoured to have fathered as many as 40 children [19] Boy by Lucian Freud

Lucian Freud ran up half a million pounds in gambling debts with the gangster Kray twins, who reportedly ran a child abuse ring for top people.

(How Lucian Freud once owed £500,000 in gambling debts to gangland Kray twins)

Lucian Freud liked to paint a certain type of boy.

In an interview, Freud once discussed the nights he spent in police cells for fighting and his relationship with Kate Moss.

Freud "had a well-documented relationship with the Kray twins Reggie and Ronnie."

Judy Garland and the UK's Kray Twins (Another Nickel In The Machine - 2). Judy Garland was said to be a victim of brain washing by the spooks.

The spooks and the police protect child abuse rings?

Sir Joseph Simpson (1909 – 1968) was the head of the London Metropolitan Police, from 1958 to 1968.

Simpson apparently turned a blind eye to the crimes of the major London gangsters known as the Kray Twins. (http://www.personenencyclopedie.info...bertjohngraham)

"Even when they turned to murder, there was no attempt to catch them." (Cached)

Some very powerful and spooky people were at work.

Christine Keeler and the Kray Twins (http://www.nickelinthemachine.com/tag/gay/page/2/) The Christine Keeler-Profumo scandal helped Harold Wilson, friend of Israel, to become UK prime minister.

The Krays reportedly ran a child abuse ring linked to top people.

The Krays liked boys and so did a lot of the top people.

The Krays were Jewish and gay.

Among the characters in this saga were:

Lord Boothby, who was very close to Winston Churchill, and who liked masochistic sex with rent boys.

Boothby's close pal Tom Driberg MP, who was a rent-boy loving spook with links to Russia and hence Israel.

(Notorious : The Immortal Legend Of The Kray Twins, by John Pearson /Sex, lies, Downing Street and the cover-up that left the Krays ...)

Boy by Lucian Freud

According to this source - Archives - the Krays had links to a paedophile ring.

"What was involved was the systematic abuse of ten-to-twelve-year-old boys, one of whom subsequentlybecame fairly well known as a singer.

"Another, rather less fortunate,wound up in six pieces in two suitcases...

"The paedophile ring in question had links to the Kray twins."

More information is found here -Archives

"The police uncovered a large-scale juvenile pimping operation centred on a house in a Suffolk village (Tattington) owned by Ronnie Kray.

(the twins had huge property interests in EastAnglia).

"Some of the boys were obtained via a close friend of Britten's in London, who named him as one of the beneficiaries of the 'service': other'customers' included Lord Boothby (who frequently shared boys with Ronnie Kray himself) and the record producer Joe Meek.

"At least two other people died in the aftermath of Bernard's murder as the twins sealed up the leaks."

Boy by Lucian Freud.

According to: "Lucian Freud : Biography":

"By 1939, after successfully publishing several of his drawings in the progressive magazine Horizon, the 17-year-old Freud was socializing within important British homosexual cliques.

"These gay peers, including Stephen Spender, Cyril Connolly, and Peter Watson, were the driving forces behind the avant-garde of war-torn London, and Freud began to profess the importance of homosexuality and counter-culturalism in all artistic pursuits...

"1977 saw Freud turn much of his attention to nude males.

"One cannot speak of Freud's males without mentioning one of his favorite subjects, Leigh Bowery...

"I found him perfectly beautiful," said Freud later..."

Bowery died of AIDS in 1994.

ERIC GILL

2009-10-17T05:49:00.000-07:00

Eric Gill

Eric Gill, the son of a minister who belonged to a small Protestant sect in England, became a Roman Catholic.

Eric was inspired by the the sexually explicit Hindu temple carvings found in India.

(17 October 2009, The Guardian, Fiona MacCarthy on Eric Gill - 'Mad about sex')

Eric Gill became a sculptor.

Jesus by Eric Gill

Eric Gill's letters and diaries record many extramarital affairs and his incest with his sisters and with his two eldest daughters when they were in their teens.

The sisters "appear to have absorbed the experience, making apparently good and happy marriages, bringing up large families.

"Their history challenges received opinion on the inevitability of damage done by child abuse." ('Mad about sex')

Eric Gill

Eric Gill's adopted son, Gordian, may not have been so lucky.

Gordian was rumoured to be the result of sex between a Catholic priest and a nun.

Gill made sculptures of Gordian.

In one carving 'Foster Father', Gordion "is clasped to the father in an embrace that resembles the male-female conjunction..."

Gill's statue of Prospero and Ariel above the entrance to the BBC's Broadcasting House can be "interpreted as God and the Christ child, Gill and his own beloved son." ('Mad about sex')

Eric Gill - Prospero and Ariel at BBC Broadcasting House.

As an adult, Gordion "drifted from job to job.

"For a time he was a porter at Asprey's in Bond Street.

"He drank heavily and, according to members of the family, periodically stole Gill's work and sold it.

"He was said to have been 'in trouble with the police'.

"When Gill left him just £500 in his will, Gordian's bitterness increased." - ('Mad about sex')

Narcissus

Benvenuto Cellini (1500-1571) was a famous sculptor and lover of boys.

Cellini was born in Florence at the time of the Italian Renaissance.

Florence was known as "Sodom City".

Reportedly, sex between men and boys was a part of Florentine culture.

Cellini was convicted of homosexual sodomy in Florence in 1523 and in 1557.

Perseus

Cellini's Florentine patron was Duke Cosimo I de'Medici and it was for Cosimo that Cellini made a bronze Perseus holding Medusa's severed head. This can be viewed in Piazza della Signoria.

Cellini's works include a marble statues of Ganymede and an Eagle, Narcissus, and Apollo and Hyacinth.

Ganymede and the Eagle

In Ganymede and the Eagle, the young Trojan boy touches the neck feathers of the Eagle, his seducer.

Apollo and Hyacinth

In Apollo and Hyacinth, Apollo touches Hyacinth.

Cellini wrote Vita, his autobiography.

In Vita, he relates that he took his apprentice Diego, dressed in women's clothes, to a party.

The boy was voted the most beautiful prostitute in Florence.

In Vita, Cellini refers to sodomy as that "noble practice" of "the greatest emperors and the greatest kings of the world."

Among his best known works are Primavera (Spring) of ca 1478 and the Birth of Venus of ca 1484.

In 1502, Botticelli was accused of sodomy with his young male assistant, who may also have served as a model.

Vasari said Botticelli was "extraordinarily fond of those he knew to be students of the arts."

Balthus

Wuthering Heights by Balthus

Ganymede by Balthus (Ciudad de la Pintura)

Balthasar Kłossowski de Rola (1908 - 2001), known as Balthus, was a Polish-French artist.

Balthus claimed to be a count. Balthus was not what he seemed. He produced lots of pictures of young males.

"Balthus is not a count... On his mother's side he's the grandson of an illustrious cantor whose name still resounds in Poland.

"His father may or may not have been Jewish or gentry.

"His childhood was not pampered but haphazard - a series of shabby digs in Paris, Lausanne and Berlin, with the dirty ears of genteel poverty - and, it seems, unhappy, his father absent, his mother acting the poetess." (Salon Books "Balthus: A Biography" by Nicholas Fox Weber)

Balthus's style is mainly classical and academic.

His technique and compositions were inspired by pre-renaissance painters.

His paintings and drawings show the influence of de Chrico, Emily Brontë, Lewis Carroll, Masaccio, Piero della Francesca, Simone Martini, Poussin, Jean Etienne Liotard, Joseph Reinhardt, Géricault, Ingres, Goya, Jean-Baptiste Camille Corot, Courbet, Edgar Degas, Félix Vallotton and Paul Cézanne. (Balthus - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia)

In 1937 he married Antoinette de Watteville, who had been the model for La Toilette

One of the paintings from his first exhibition in Paris was The Guitar Lesson (1934), which caused controversy due to its sexually explicit depiction of a pre-pubescent girl held on the lap of her teacher in a highly provocative pose. (Balthus - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia )

"I really don't understand why people see the paintings of girls as Lolitas," Balthus told the chief art critic of The New York Times, Michael Kimmelman, in 1996. "My little model is absolutely untouchable to me. Some American journalist said he found my work pornographic. What does he mean? Everything now is pornographic. Advertising is pornographic. You see a young woman putting on some beauty product who looks like she's having an orgasm. I've never made anything pornographic. Except perhaps `The Guitar Lesson.' " (Obituaries )

In 1953, he moved into the Chateau de Chassy in the Morvan, living with his niece Frédérique Tison and finishing his large-scale masterpieces La Chambre.

In 1967 he married a Japanese girl called Setsuko Ideta. She was thirty-five years younger than him.

St Sebastian tended by two angels

Flaggelation of Christ

Richard G. Mann has written that the Italian artist Guercino "fused spirituality and homoerotic desire in many of his paintings of religious subjects."

Guercino was the first to come up with the idea of Saint Sebastian Tended by Two Angels. These were young male angels. Previously, Saint Sebastian would have been tended by Saint Helen and her maid.

Reportedly, Guercino was keen on beautiful male angels and cute looking putti.

In Saint Gregory the Great with Saints Ignatius and Francis Xavier, Richard G Mann points out that two putti "embrace playfully in the heavens ... one of the putti, who has a notably erect penis, gazes seductively down at Gregory."

Mann writes that in Flagellation of Christ, Christ's tormenter "gently lifts up some of his hair as he gazes intently at him with an expression encompassing both compassion and desire." (Guercino)

Painting by Charles Filiger

Paul Gauguin (1848-1903) was a Post-Impressionist painter.

His most famous quote was: "I must confess that I am myself a woman." (Paul Gauguin - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia)

In 1873, Gauguin married a Danish woman, Mette Sophie Gad.

In the late 1880s and early 1990s, Gauguin and his followers spent time in Brittany.

A close friend of Gauguin was Charles Filiger whose paintings of farm boys and Christ figures 'attests to his struggle with homosexuality and religion.' (glbtq >> arts >> Symbolists)

In Brittany, Gauguin also painted boys, often naked boys.

In Paris, in 1887, Paul Gauguin met Vincent van Gogh.

There has been speculation that Vincent felt sexually attracted towards Paul Gauguin.

Paul Gauguin is said to have flirted with Van Gogh, but to have preferred much younger men. (Paul Gauguin's erotic life - Page 3 - Salon.com)

By 1888, Gauguin and Vincent were living in Arles, in the South of France.

The same year, Vincent's friendship with Paul Gauguin came to a sudden end, and Vincent cut off part of his left ear.

In 1891, Gauguin sailed to the tropics (Tahiti and the Marquesas Islands) to escape "everything that is artificial and conventional."

As a youth, Vincent Van Gogh, the Dutch Post-Impressionist, was fervent about religion.

However, during the 1870s, he failed the various exams which would have allowed him to become a pastor or a missionary.

In 1980, Vincent began his career as a painter.

In 1882, Vincent began very briefly living with an alcoholic prostitute, Clasina Maria Hoornik, known as Sien. During the year 1882, Sien gave birth to a baby boy called Willem and Vincent spent three weeks in a hospital suffering from gonorrhoea.

Willem came to believe he was Van Gogh's son, but the timing of the birth makes this unlikely.[41]

In 1883, Vincent abandoned Sien.

In 1885, Vincent was getting young peasant girls to model for his paintings. He was accused of making one of them pregnant.[45]

In 1886, while living in Antwerp, Vincent began to drink absinthe heavily and may have been treated for syphilis. [51]

Starting in 1887, Vincent began writing letters to his young friend Emile Bernard. In these letters Vincent revealed that when he had the money, he tried to visit a brothel about every two weeks.

Also in 1886, Vincent moved to Paris, where he shared a house with his brother Theo.

In 1887, Vincent met and befriended Paul Gauguin, who had just arrived in Paris.

Some writers believe that in Paris Vincent discovered a world of gay sex.

There has been speculation that Vincent felt sexually attracted towards Paul Gauguin and that Vincent had a very close relationship with his brother Theo.

Paul Gauguin is said to have flirted with Van Gogh and Theo, but to have preferred much younger men. (Paul Gauguin's erotic life - Page 3 - Salon.com)

Albert J Lubin, in his book Stranger on the Earth: A Psychological Biography of Vincent Van Gogh, suggests that Vincent may have been sexually attracted to Gauguin.

Vincent's move from Holland to Gay Paris seems to have led to the production of some brighter, sunnier, more joyous paintings.

On the other hand, there is still the feeling in some of the French paintings that Vincent is repressed and has still not learnt to live at peace with himself.

By 1888, Vincent was living in Arles, in the South of France. He worked alongside Paul Gauguin.

The same year, Vincent's friendship with Paul Gauguin came to an end, and Vincent cut off part of his left ear.

It is possible that Vincent's apparently manic-depressive or bi-polar behaviour was related to repressed homosexuality.

Alexander Andreyevich Ivanov 1806-1858 was a Russian painter who favoured Neoclassicism .

In 1831 he set up home in Rome and explored much of Italy.

In Italy he painted Apollo, Hyacinth and Cypariss Singing and Playing Music (1831-1834) which was approved by his sponsors in St. Petersburg.

Apollo loved both Hyacinth and Cypariss (Cypress). The young Hyacinthus is playing the flute; Cypress is drowsing.

Around 1833 Ivanov began to plan The Appearance of Christ to the People (1837-1857). He worked on it for twenty years.

Garden of Earthly Delights

Hieronymous Bosch (1450-1516) lived in Holland and produced paintings with naked people and a touch of the surreal.

Bosch mixed with the sophisticated members of the upper class.

According to an article at BOSCH Netherlandish on the Garden Panel

"Bosch made the female body into a kind of forbidden fruit. In this way, he played on the traditional understanding of the Fall as a seduction of male reason by female body and clarified the "lust of the eye" introduced in the scene of Adam and Eve.

"The replacement of human bodily parts with large pieces of fruit and the suggestive combination of naked bodies and fruits varied endlessly in the Garden scene, along with the apple picking in the grove at far right, further amplify the metaphoric use of fruit to refer to all carnal pleasures and appetites, especially sexual pleasures.

"Though all of this fruit-body imagery is playful and geared toward the pleasures of artistic imagination, all of it remains allegorical. And at least some of this imagery is inflected with particular sexual references. Thus the naked man who bends in the left foreground to touch the shoulder of another naked man offering him fruit is "sodomized" by the phallic stem of the giant strawberry attached to his back. With a third man added to this homosexual couple, Bosch suggested the sinful pleasures of homosexual lovemaking."

According to one writer: "Bosch's works were largely of homoerotic cartoon figures, which may be seen as trying to rid homosexual guilt." ( Cached )

Boy with Pipe

Picasso had a sexual relationship with the gay French poet Max Jacob. This lasted 3 years and ended in 1906.

“Oh, Picasso was absolutely having sex with Max Jacob. And everyone knew!” says John Richardson, author of A life of Picasso. (page 2 (love?) )

Brett Masters, Princeton Class of 2008, Winner of the Quin Morton Essay Prize, wrote (Picasso: Sa Vie en Rose ):

"Boy with a Pipe is undeniably provocative, raising questions both about Picasso’s sexuality and his relationships with children. In it, the artist depicts a lanky and vaguely feminized adolescent boy holding an opium pipe. The boy is clearly intoxicated and his pose is sexually suggestive: his legs are spread, his groin, prominent. The homoeroticism at work in the painting seems to suggest homosexual or even pedophilic desires.

"Moreover, a look at Picasso’s oeuvre reveals that Boy with a Pipe is only one of a series of works from 1905 and 1906, on the hinge of his blue and rose periods, which depict effeminized, almost androgynous, adolescent males in vaguely sexual positions. Upon closer inspection, each figure appears in fact to be only a different rendering of the same boy, compelling us to wonder if Picasso, a renowned philanderer, was not also a pedophile...

John Richardson, in A Life of Picasso, says the boy is P’tit’ Louis.

Louis regularly visited Picasso's Bateau Lavoir studio in Paris.

Picasso said Louis “stayed there, sometimes the whole day. He watched me work. He loved that. And he died in the prime of his delinquent life.”

Richardson says that “Picasso was fascinated by the idea of androgynous youth.”

Richardson thinks that the inspiration for Boy with a Pipe was an erotic poem Verlaine wrote about Rimbaud. This poem, Crimen Amoris, refers to an adolescent “evil angel” wearing a halo of flowers. Richardson suggests a link to Picasso’s own relationship with “P’tit Louis”.

Pontormo - Joseph in Egypt

Agnolo Bronzino was a 16th century Florentine artist and poet who became court painter to Cosimo de Medici.

In Jacopo Pontormo's painting Joseph in Egypt, the boy with the dark cloak and brown tunic, sitting on the first step of the stairs, is Agnolo Bronzino.

Bronzino was the adopted son of Jacopo Pontormo and scholars believe that Pontormo and Bronzino were lovers.

Bronzino adopted one of his own pupils, Alessandro Allori, as his son.

According to Michael Cornelius, "In sixteenth-century Florence, this type of arrangement often signaled a sexual relationship between two men; an older man adopting his younger lover was quite common." arts >> Bronzino, Agnolo

Bronzino's poetry "contains homoerotic references and allusions."

Bronzino's painting Venus, Cupid, Folly, and Time (ca 1540-1545) "conveys strong feelings of eroticism under the pretext of a moralizing allegory." - WebMuseum: Bronzino, Agnolo

Michael Cornelius writes: "There is an undeniable homoerotic subtext to several of Bronzino's famous portraits, including Portrait of a Young Man (ca 1535-1540)... parts of the young man's garb, especially his ring and sash, may act as symbols suggesting his sexuality." arts >> Bronzino, Agnolo

Germaine Greer and Art

2007-05-22T00:45:00.000-07:00

Professor Germaine Greer has some interesting ideas about art.

Greer's last academic appointment was Professor of English Literature and Comparative Studies at the University of Warwick.

In 2003,Germaine Greer's The Beautiful Boy was published, an art history book about the beauty of teenage boys, which is illustrated with 200 photographs of what The Guardian called "succulent teenage male beauty."

Germaine Greer's book The Boy was reviewed by Natasha Walter in the Guardian 11 October 2003 - http://books.guardian.co.uk/review/story/0,12084,1059174,00.html

Walter refers to 'page after page of sheeny illustrations of fine, languid boys as seen by artists from Praxiteles to Annie Leibovitz.... Greer is asking us to celebrate the evanescent loveliness of boys.'

According to Greer: 'Correggio is the only artist ever to have depicted the anus and scrotum of an airborne angel.'

Greer claims that saying boys are beautiful amounts to 'demolishing one of the last great western taboos.'

Greer looks at how boys in fifth-century Athens 'allowed themselves to revel in their own peacock beauty.'

Greer compares this with the lack of grace and feeling in some modern boys.

Greers aim is stated on the back cover: 'to reclaim for women the right to appreciate the short-lived beauty of boys'.

Peter Conrad reviewed Greer's book in the Observer, 26 October 2003. - http://books.guardian.co.uk/reviews/politicsphilosophyandsociety/0,6121,1071096,00.html

According to Conrad, Germaine Greer warns women that "they are ill-equipped to act as 'sex objects' and are 'programmed for failure in their duty of attraction'."

According to Conrad, 'Greer believes that the job of arousing desire is done better, and with an ecumenical appeal to both men and women, by the boys who teasingly lounge and cockily strut through the pages of her book.'

Conrad tells us of Greer's belief that 'If nature didn't intend boys to be seduced by older men and women, why did it make them so damnably fetching, so downy-cheeked, rangy-limbed and pert-buttocked?'
