- Book Synopsis
- Interweaving the sacred and the erotic, This Elegance engages with visual arts through the concept of sacra conversazione ("sacred conversation"), a style of Renaissance painting that imagines divine communion across time and space. Here, artists, thinkers, and pop icons commune in a similar sacred dialogue-Kathleen Collins, André Leon Talley, Richmond Barthé, Lyle Ashton Harris, Juan de Pareja, Janelle Monáe, Symone, and others appear as guiding spirits and creative kin.For a Black, queer person so often dislocated from time and place, pleasure becomes an act of resistance-a grounding in the now. This Elegance is a love song-an offering to Black artistry, a tribute to visionary lives, and a testament to the power of beauty in even our most precarious moments.
