Bazzi

Speranza

Saslow is professor of Renaissance art and theater at the CUNY Graduate Center, where he specializes in gender and sexuality in art, and in the visual aspects of theatre.

A founding member of CUNY's Center for Lesbian and Gay Studies, and of the College Art Association's Queer Caucus for Art, Saslow has written extensively about gays and lesbians throughout history.

His interest in iconography, social history, art, and literature has resulted in acclaimed translations of the homoerotic poetry of Michelangelo.

Saslow is also working on a study of the 16th-century homosexual artist Giovanni Antonio Bazzi (a.k.a. “Il Sodoma”) and on a memoir of gay and lesbian culture.

A board member of New York's Leslie-Lohman Museum of Gay and Lesbian Art, Saslow is helping establish the nation's first chartered museum for LGBTQ art and artists.
