    Once considered the standard of artistic achievement, the male nude is now an afterthought -- and that's partially our fault. Due to the visibility and power of the LGBT movement, it's difficult for many to look without seeing male nudes in anything but a homoerotic context. In The Art of Looking (Bruno Gmunder), author Kevin Clarke examines that progression by analyzing the life and collection of Charles Leslie, one of the key people who collected and supported artists who made homoerotic work from the 1950s to today, especially through the times of the AIDS crisis and official government homophobia during the Reagan years.
