“Camp is not kitsch, which is bad art, miscalculated with the best of intentions; camp art can be good art created with the worst of intentions.” Twenty years after Susan Sontag’s prescient Notes on Camp, Marc Booth delves deeper into the theme and its ubiquitous aesthetic through this extensive visual essay published in 1983; at one of the many peaks of camp itself. From Regency dandies to Divine, Andy Warhol, and, of course, David Bowie, Booth overviews the history of camp through its main, and sometimes unexpected, personalities. A haven for the curious.
