Great art reveals the hidden depths of a subject, but it also reflects the personality of its creator, often disclosing as much about the painter as the painted. What we may have gleaned of the sexuality of these artists - in glimpses of their work - is now more fully revealed in Nigel Cawthorne's expose of their and "lust for life and " away from the canvas. What made Picasso, Gauguin, and Augustus John so, allegedly, insatiable? Why did Van Gogh present his severed ear to a prostitute? Leonardo, Michaelangelo, Caravaggio, Goya, Dali, Toulouse-Lautrec, and Degas are just a few of the great artists who pose for Cawthorne's revealing sexual portraits.
