- Title
Situating J. C. Leyendecker within the Conflicting Narratives of the Gay and Lesbian Past.
- Authors
Murphy, Michael J.
- Abstract
The features of Leyendecker's paintings often cited as "coded" or homoerotic - curious positioning of models, homosocial spaces/activities, sartorial semiotics - were common in advertising and other print media in the years that Leyendecker worked. Coded: The Hidden Love of J. C. Leyendecker, directed by Ryan White (New York: Imagine Documentaries, 2021), 28 min. But Leyendecker's commissions declined over the 1930s, which the film attributes to less advertising work during the Depression and industry discrimination due to Leyendecker's homosexuality.
