Clara González Freyre publishes first LGTBIQ+ art history told like a newspaper

Art historian Clara González Freyre, known online as Claramore with over 370,000 followers, has published "Nos recordarán" (They Will Remember Us), described as the first LGTBIQ+ art history told in a journalistic style. Following her acclaimed debut "Un Van Gogh en el salón," the book is structured with each chapter inspired by a different color of the rainbow flag. It explores works by artists including Toulouse-Lautrec, Rubens, Hilma af Klint, and Natalie Barney, examining their impact on sexuality, dissent, health, pride, spirituality, and racism. The title quotes Sappho of Lesbos: "Someone in another time will remember us." González Freyre aims to give voice to silenced artists and provide a refuge for those still marginalized. She cites sources ranging from classical texts to specialized researchers and exhibitions in Basel and Chicago. The book addresses museums' pending tasks regarding colonialism, dissident identities, and disability. She highlights Swiss painter Louise Catherine Breslau as a particularly impactful discovery. The author emphasizes that art has always reflected diverse identities and that her work seeks to help readers find historical references without requiring prior art knowledge.
