The Devil’s Profession - Renato Fratini, Giclée Print 1965 he is dressed in whiteRussell ONeil wrote The Devils Profession in 1963. A novel about a good looking, narcissistic actor who will do anything to get a Hollywood contract, becoming his gay agents kept boy, despite being heterosexual. The image is painted in greys and lit starkly, as if by theatre spot lights; the foreground figure is depicted in an almost androgynous way. Homosexuality was not decriminalised in the U. K. until 1967. Lever Gallery Print Professional high
