Portraits of Gerard Reve and Joop Schafthuizen

Vincent Samuel Mentzel (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.
