October Art Feature

Hi everyone! :heart: It's time for another monthly art feature journal! :dummy: Before we get to the core of this journal, here's a brief recap of the rules: ➡️ Every month I create a forum thread where you can post artworks which you'd like to be featured in the journal. Keep in mind that even though I especially want to encourage small artists with modest number of faves and watchers, you can share your art regardless of how much popular you are. ➡️ One Quartz, one Emerald and one Diamond badge are awarded randomly. Because of huge number of beautiful artworks, variety of styles and types of art I guess this is the best solution I see as for now. Of course Diamond badges will be given to these artists who don't have Core yet. Without further ado, let's get started! :la: Below you can see a collection of artworks which I find particularly wonderful, creative and inspiring. Artists should help artists, so please don't hesitate to give faves, comments and watches if you wish

LGBTQ+ Art in History

Art as a means of expression has always allowed for individuals to be true to themselves, and that is especially true of LGBTQ+ art throughout history. Though there are too many inspiring examples to include in a single journal, we wanted to share some notable LGBTQ+ artists from history. A very recognizable early example would be the Archaic Greek lyric poet Sappho, whose works have been celebrated for their focus on love between women—so much so that the words “sapphic” (an adjective referring to women who love other women) and “lesbian” were derived from her and Lesbos, the island she was from. An example of gender identity in historical art is Claude Cahun, a French photographer who expressed themselves as gender neutral, not finding that masculine or feminine traits suited them consistently. Though they created primarily for themself and didn’t have interest in fame, their works—and similarly, the works of their partner Marcel Moore—challenged the notion of gender and how it
