Unheroic Conduct: the gay male body is designed to solicitate desire, it deliberately flaunts the visual norms of straight masculinity. (Daniel Boyarin) MKM Gallery presents an intimate and effeminized portrait of a chassidic figure whose delicate homoerotic attire has long withdrawn from Jewish tradition.
