In honor of Pride month posting LGBTQ+ artist for #artmonday 🏳️🌈 . . . Title: History Keeps Me Awake at Night (For Rilo Chmielorz )1986 . . . . Artist: David Wojnarowicz 1954-1992 . . In History Keeps Me Awake at Night (for Rilo Chmielorz) Wojnarowicz presents a dystopic vision of American life. Presenting simulated American currency and bureaucratic emblems alongside symbols of crime, monstrosity, and chaos, the painting’s threatening imagery runs counter to the apparently placid sleep of the man below. If the painting is about fear, perhaps the fear of staring down AIDS, Wojnarowicz presents it as an endemic condition in which new fears are built upon historical ones . . #pridemonth #pride #gayart #gayartist #art (at Manhattan, New York) https://www.instagram.com/p/CewqynUJMy8/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=
