Responding To A Request From The Colorado Art Ranch
A representative from the Colorado Art Ranch sent me this thoughtful email:
Hi!
I just discovered your wonderful site and blog. I wonder if you can
recommend some artists whose work explores sexuality. Colorado Art
Ranch is hosting a public symposium on sexuality in the arts, “Sex and
Sensibility,” in Trinidad, Colorado in the fall of 2009. I’d appreciate
any help you can give.
Thanks,

Response:
First, thank you kindly for considering my opinion. Here is a list of living artists whose artworks appear to me to be exploring “sex and sensibility” or “sexuality” more than simply “eroticism” or “beauty.”
This list is not comprehensive, and my apologies to the hundreds of artists I should have included on this list. I’ve excluded some very famous artists most everyone is already familiar with (like Alice Walker, Annie Leibovitz, John Currin, Bruce Weber, Nan Goldin, etc.). I’ve tried to group the artists roughly by the primary medium I’m familiar with their work in. Where possible, there is a link to a previous post done about that artist:
Graphic Arts
Bechdel, Alison - “Fun Home”
Hernandez, Gilbert
Hernandez, Jaime
Jones, Joelle - “12 Reasons Why I Love Her”

Moore, Terry - “Strangers in Paradise” & “Echo”
