Courtney Love's Daughter Honors Gay Pioneer With Tattoo



FRANCES BEAN QUENTIN CRISP TATTOO X390 (SOURCED) | ADVOCATE.COM
A new photo shoot with Frances Bean Cobain, the daughter of late rock icon Kurt Cobain and musician-actress-personality Courtney Love, reveals the progeny has a tattoo of Quentin Crisp on her back.

Bean is the subject of a moody black-and-white 
photo shoot by Hedi Slimane. In the photos the 19-year-old shows off a number of tattoos, including one of the late queer activist on her back beneath her right shoulder next to a French quote, "L'art est la solution au Chaos," which translates as "Art is the solution of chaos." 

The British-born Crisp, who died in 1999, is still celebrated by many as a queer pioneer. His 1968 memoir 
The Naked Civil Servant detailed his life and the persecution he often experienced due to his refusal to hide being gay.
