Summary/Abstract: The chapter investigates and analyzes art created by four non-heteronormative visual artists: Jacek Sempoliński, Krzysztof Niemczyk, Krzysztof Jung, and Ryszard Kisiel, created in the period of the People’s Republic of Poland. Special attention is paid to the diverse ways in which the artists approached their sexuality in the art they created. Furthermore, the ways of writing about these artists’ oeuvre and its – queerphobic in some cases – understanding in Polish art history and criticism are also discussed.
