A Celebration of Queer Art and Legacy 🩷

In the world of fine art, certain pieces possess an undeniable magnetism, not only for their aesthetic brilliance but for the profound stories they tell. Elisàr von Kupffer, a visionary Baltic German artist and pioneering gay rights activist, used his canvases to explore a deeply personal, utopian world. This self portrait is a remarkable example of his unique style, which frequently featured ethereal figures in ritualistic, often sensual, poses. While Kupffer's work may appear to hint at bacchanalian revelry, it's actually an exploration of his own spiritual philosophy, 'Clarism'.

Clarism, a quasi Christian religion founded by Kupffer and his partner Eduard von Mayer, sought to harmonise faith with their identity as queer men. While the religion found little traction beyond the couple, their devotion was so profound they built a temple, the Sanctuarium Artis Elisarion, dedicated to their beliefs. The spiritual and aesthetic world of Clarism saw two opposing forces a chaotic human world and a 'Clear World' of blessed beings who lived in an eternal state of falling in love and beauty worship.

This print offers a rare opportunity to own a piece of queer history. It is a testament to an artist who bravely used his work to express his identity and create a world where beauty and love reigned supreme.
