Magnus Herschfeld Double Page Spread


The new post is about the world’s first sexologist, a homosexual man, first to fight for the rights of all sexual minorities including the transgendered. The double page spread is the latest in the series I hope to become a book, The LGBTQ Pictionary. I create the artwork and write about Magnus Hirschfeld at a time when we in the USA are in a precarious position similar to that of Herschfeld’s Weimar Republic as the Nazi Party came into power.

This double page spread is the 5th in the series. When I have eight I plan on sending them off to LGBTQ organizations with a proposal to publish the book of fifty words and illustrations as a way to generate funds for the organization through an art exhibition about the book and sales of the book.
