From the Back Cover

One of David Wojnarowicz's few incursions into photography is a testimony of urban, social and political change in New York in the late 1970s.

In 1978 and 1979, David Wojnarowicz took a series of photographs of a man wearing a paper mask bearing the visage of Arthur Rimbaud, the French poet equally known for his fervid verse and dramatic life. Rimbaud was the instantiation, and perhaps the inventor, of the idea of the young gay hustler of genius.
