The following description is about the artwork Felix, June 5th, 1994.
1. Does the blue section mean "the intense colors and patterns were Felixe's choice. The weaker and the more vulnerable he became, the more attention he showed in the selection of the furnishings that surrounded him"?
2. Does the yellow sentence imply "it was a sort of revelation, not the revelation of his gay tendencies, but the revelation of his aesthetic tendencies"?
Description:
The overload of colour and pattern had been orchestrated by Felix himself who had become more and more elaborate in his clothing and in the choice of the soft furnishings that surrounded him as he grew increasingly frail and wasted in his illness. As Bronson put it, it was a sort of coming out, not in terms of his sexuality but of his aesthetic.
The weaker and the more vulnerable he became, the more bold, elaborate and intense his clothing selections became. "Coming out" is the process where homosexuals publicly admit their sexual preferences. They start out "in the closet".
