From the U.S. Navy's 1934 confiscation of a painting of sailors on shore leave to contemporary culture wars over funding for the arts, conflicts surrounding homosexuality and creative freedom have shaped the history of modern art in America. Richard Meyer, one of the country's leading gay art historians, will shed light on this important history with fascinating stories of art under attack and the artists who cunningly fought back. Meyer teaches at the University of Southern California and is author of the award-winning book Outlaw Representation: Censorship and Homosexuality in Twentieth-Century American Art. Presented by Philbrook and Oklahomans for Equality. Free with admission.
