Friedman, Alice T.

Friedman (emerita, American art, Wellesley Coll.; American Glamour and the Evolution of Modern Architecture) skillfully illuminates a world usually hidden behind a curtain of societal restrictions. This remarkable book will be a welcome addition to LGBTQIA+ and art history collections.

Seriousness sets in once past the dust jacket featuring Slim Aarons's Poolside Gossip. Useful to art, architecture, design, and cultural history students and scholars as both an overview and a criticism of specific buildings.
