This is my most-visited sub-page, which is interesting because of the probability that many visitors will have arrived via my listing on various lesbian/gay-related web pages. I'll attempt to keep this page up to date, due to its amazing popularity.

Please note that the most recent entries will be found at the end of the list.

I urge you to visit the general lesbian/gay and lesbian/gay marriage sub-pages, as well.

Please send suggestions for additional links to me at jwilk@eskimo.com.

Enjoy!

UC/Riverside - California Museum of Photography

Provocative and intelligent presentation of the photograph as art. What first attracted my admiration was this intelligent treatment of the photography of Edward Weston and Robert Mapplethorpe: "Weston's Nude Floating, 1939, an image of a woman floating face up in a swimming pool, with Mapplethorpe's Thomas, 1986, an image of a nude man tautly posed in a square structure. Here, the modern, formal analysis usually applied to Weston's work expands to embrace postmodern themes rooted in societal relationships, gender, race, and sexuality. Likewise, Mapplethorpe's work examined next to Weston's invites the viewer to look beyond the lingering NEA controversy and see the image for its formal complexities in the tradition of modernist photography. In both cases the comparisons serve to more firmly ground the artists' work in 20th century art practice."

Art on the Net

"Art on the Net is a collective of artists helping each other to come up on the Internet and share their works on the World Wide Web. Artists create and maintain studios and rooms in the gallery where they show their works and share about themselves. ...

We have poets, musicians, painters, sculptors, digital artists, performance artists, animators and much more. We are always open to adding artists in new areas."
