Lauded by Jerry Saltz as 'one of the most reactionary yet radical visions of art', 'The Young and Evil' tells the story of a group of artists and writers active during the first half of the 20th century, when homosexuality was as problematic for American culture as figuration was for modernist painting. These artists - including Paul Cadmus, Fidelma Cadmus Kirstein, Charles Henri Ford, Jared French, Margaret Hoening French, George Platt Lynes, Bernard Perlin, Pavel Tchelitchew, George Tooker, Alexander Jensen Yow, and their circle - were new social creatures, playfully and boldly homosexual at a time when it was both criminalised and pathologised.
