A radical departure from the public facing work that he was known for.
Charles Demuth, a master of the Precisionist movement, was an artist ahead of his time. Born in 1883, he navigated a world that was less than accepting of his sexuality. Despite this, or perhaps because of it, his art became a powerful vehicle for exploring themes of identity, desire, and the human form. 'Three Sailors Urinating' is a brilliant example of this. Created around 1930, the watercolour is a bold and uninhibited exploration of male camaraderie and sexuality.
The work is part of a series of homoerotic watercolours that Demuth created throughout his career. These pieces, often privately shared among a close circle of friends, were a radical departure from the public facing work that he was known for. Demuth's influences were rooted in the European avant-garde, particularly the work of artists like Marcel Duchamp and the Fauvists. The vibrant, almost scandalous, use of colour and the frank depiction of a taboo subject position this piece squarely in the queer art canon. It challenges the viewer to confront societal norms and embrace a more liberated perspective on desire and the male body.
