FROM THE PRINT MAGAZINE

Seated Nude on White Chair by Eugène Jansson (1862-1915)

32.3"x24.4"; oil on canvas; c. 1906-1914. Private collection.

Each issue of the print magazine explores queer art history. In Issue 0, we consider the work of Swedish painter Eugène Fredrik Jansson (1862-1915) who was known for his nighttime landscape and cityscape paintings. In 1904, he became tired of the subject and took a break from art, during which he started visiting the navy bathhouse. He returned to painting and focused on male nudes for the rest of his life. His brother, who was gay, burnt all of Eugene's letters when he died. Homosexuality was illegal in Sweden until 1944.

Brayden Shayne is a queer artists’ collective based in North America, interested in queer art and thought and good faggotry. Issue 0 of the print magazine is a lookbook of editorial philosophy for the magazine that traces the history of the project and offers a raison d'etre for its urgent timeliness. Articles speak to How It All Started; Where We Came From & Where We Are Going; What We Want & What We Like. Brayden Shayne Issue 0 is essential reading for anyone who wants to join us on this journey. Order your copy today!

Seated nude on white chair by Swedish artist Eugène Jansson who was well-known for his male nudes, many of which he painted after meeting them at the navy bathhouse. Art historians write that Jansson was "probably" gay and "seems" to have had a relationship with at least one of his models.
