Gaiety Painting by Patrick Angus

[+ Lucky]

Looking through an art book that I bought, I found a painting called Hank Panky, which shows the interior of the Gaiety. You can see it here:

That's great lucky! What is the title of the book?

[+ Lucky]

It's called Male Desire- The Homoerotic in American Art by Jonathan Weinberg. It's a big, coffee table book, originally priced at $50. I bought it at Borders for $7.99, and worth every penny.

IF I am right and the guy against the Wall is SMOKING and Chairs are quite Full..This was done in the Good Ole Days of the Gaiety?

 

Beats the Hell out of the Last Days of the "G" with only the Security Guard leaning in that Space and 3 Guys in the Front Row waiting for Gio to do his Famous Back of the Chairs Routine, even with One Older Gentleman usually nodding out!
