“An exercise in sincere Romantic imagery, calling upon the classic trope of Venus emerging from the waves. Here the goddess and typical water nymphs are replaced by average men, attended by various animals associated with love and hunting. Their parade becomes a fantastical, totemic image of homoerotic youth and autogenesis.” - Aaron Burleson
