Pope, Queen Loan “Gay” Drawings
The Guardian reports: ‘Some of the most magnificent drawings ever executed – physical manifestations of Michelangelo’s love and infatuation for a handsome and intelligent teenage boy – will on Thursday go on display as a group for the first time. The groundbreaking show at the Courtauld gallery in London, with loans from the Vatican and the Queen, is essentially a joyously gay love story.’ Don’t tell the ghost of Charlton Heston. (Heston played Michaelangelo in the film “The Agony and the Ecstasy” and used to assert that the artist wasn’t “comme ça.”)
