Getting started with the collection:
Portraits of Gerard Reve and Joop Schafthuizen
Mentzel, Vincent Samuel (mentioned on object), 1983
For a long time, images of love and intimacy were generally reserved for heterosexual couples. The Dutch author, Gerard Reve, here poses with his partner Joop Schafthuizen, holding each other tenderly and kissing. As an openly gay man, Reve contributed to the visibility and acceptance of homosexuality.
