Abstract Sidney James Hunt, born in 1896, was a queer British poet, painter, and draftsman whose brief career was active and eclectic. Building on recent work, this article seeks to examine not only the scope of Hunt’s idiosyncratic experimentation with word and image, culminating in his editorship of Ray—the only English equivalent of such influential European publications as Der Sturm, De Stijl, and Mécano—but also the striking and suggestive originality of Hunt’s specifically queer literary and artistic production. His subjects include blushes of boys night bathing, sunbathing, and posing with pansies, as well as naked male figures (often of mythological origin). He was one of the few modernist artists to use abstraction to express the essentials of male beauty and, under a pseudonym, created several erotic photomontages. His work as a pioneer of the avant-garde in Britain and as a queer British artist deserves considerable reassessment.
