A hilarious send-up of the art world's patriarchy
The history of twentieth century art is filled with men, but one key component has always been missing: Which of these men are boneable? And which are not? Jessica Campbell has created the definitive resource on this very important subject in a hilarious rundown of male artist hotness and notness. From its cheeky scratch-off cover and curator's statement, MFA docent Campbell introduces the masters of the fine art world with an irreverent overview of their practice, only to quickly get to the point on the next page with a HOT or a NOT. Would Campbell kick Cy Twombly out of bed? Probably not. How about Paul Gauguin? Most definitely. A silly but stinging rebuttal of male chauvinism, Jessica Campbell's Hot Or Not is a delightful, cheeky exclamation of female desire and utter lack thereof.

Critical Reviews
"Jessica Campbell has forever altered the canon of art history. Thanks to her erudite and lovingly illustrated guide, I can now walk into the finest museums and confidently answer the question "Can these old pricks get it " --Lisa Hanawalt
"These men should be judged on their artistic merit, not their hotness. What Ms. Campbell has done here is disgraceful." --Jillian Tamaki "I love this little book that does exactly as the title suggests: breaks down male artists into the ol' "hot or not" categories usually reserved for women, even, or even especially in the art world." --The Comics Journal "This might be one of the best ways to learn about art I've encountered." --The Comics Beat
