derived from the Ukranian art of pysanka. His work is deeply in tune

York Times, and holds an MA in philosophy from the Catholic
University of America.
Winner of the Louis Comfort Tiffany Award (1991) and a staple of the
East Village art scene of the 1980s, David Wojnarowicz built an

of his boyhood and concerned with themes like homosexuality,
marginality, difference, and death. He exhibited regularly with the PPOW
gallery during his lifetime, and his work has been shown at MoMA and the
Whitney Museum. He died of AIDS in 1992.
