Masters

From John Singer Sargent to Francis Bacon and Keith Haring - covering romantic landscapes and surreal portraits - Masters curates a gallery of writing in response to paintings by queer men.

Mark Ward’s voice inks that of the artist, the subject, and the viewer across poems exploring desire, grief, shame, defiance and surrender.

Tender and daring, Masters goes in search of a shared queer male history across the past century, and invites us to look more deeply at the worlds beneath and beyond the brushstrokes.
