Lesbian Art and Google


I was watching The L Word tonight. I don't know how most lesbians feel about the show. The few who have commented on it thought little of it. Many of the characters have interesting artwork in their beautiful LA places.

During the show, I typed "Lesbian Art" into Google Images. Of course I found porn. I also found images that I find beautiful, erotic, symbolic, but may be porn or denigrating for all I know.

Here are the images. Most of the images/art were not cited to sources.

This photo is a famous one that has had so much commercial success. It has been on many guy's (and maybe girl's) dorm walls in college. Seems kind of trite and popular now.

Red and black are my favorite colors. This photo shows emotion that trancends the nudity. It has love and affection. Because they are nude, it obviously shows the gender/sexual message as well.


Very eroticly charged. I love how the artist used a negative image for this. A negative (for those who only know digital photographs) is what we old time photographers would use to make prints (positives) from. What is this saying about lesbian love? Am I reading too much into it? I experimented in Photoshop and converted it to a positive image. The artist was right to leave it in this format. Much more powerful and oh so beautiful.
This is the art of Kim Larson. Her drawings are incredible. Being a monochromatic photographer (black and white), I love the simplicity of her art. I recommend you read her blog.

In the near future, I am going to post some of my "lesbian art." I do have one question, can a guy create "lesbian art"?
