"'What if we ascribe significance to aesthetic and social divergences rather than
waving them aside as anomalous? What if we look closely at what does not appear central,
or appears peripherally, or does not appear at all, viewing ellipses, outliers, absences,
and outtakes as significant?' Eccentric Modernisms places queer demands on art history,
tracing the relational networks connecting cosmopolitan eccentrics who cultivated
discrepant strains of modernism in America during the 1930s and 1940s. Building on
the author's earlier studies of Gertrude Stein and other lesbians who participated
in transatlantic cultural exchanges between the world wars, this book moves in a different
direction, focusing primarily on the gay men who formed Stein's support network and
whose careers, in turn, she helped to launch, including the neo-romantic painters
Pavel Tchelitchew and writer/editor Charles Henri Ford. Eccentric Modernisms shows
how these 'eccentric modernists' bucked trends by working collectively, reveling in
disciplinary promiscuity, and sustaining creative affiliations across national and
cultural boundaries"--Provided by publisher
