Mark Morrisroe (1959-1989) carried a bullet in his chest and a Polaroid camera with him at all times. The former fired from the gun of a disgruntled john, the latter a gift from the Poloroid Corporation, which included a lifetime supply of film. His life was cut short, but the photographs he took remain -- lush, anguished, and comedic depictions of a life consumed by ambition and disaster. This monograph is a recounting of what remains in the artist's works and words.

5.0 out of 5 stars
A fascinating blend of biography and art.,
By Midwest Book Review (Oregon, WI USA) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Mark Morrisroe (Hardcover)
Mark Morrisroe is a unique blend of biography and art which captures Morrisroe's 'cut throat' attitude and rebellious expressions in photos and paintings. The harsh side of his personality and his astute observations of self and society are explored in a series of mostly wordless, often startling pictures.
5.0 out of 5 stars

This review is from: Mark Morrisroe (Hardcover)
Well made, amazing book. This book is just the artwork. Would have possibly enjoyed a bit of narrative mixed in, but really nice nonetheless.

This review is from: Mark Morrisroe (Hardcover)
I learned about Mark Morrisroe from Morel's tribute to the late queer photographer called "Queen Of The Highway." I own the CD and this "Mark Morrisroe" book by Jack Woody. Morel's music provides an excellent backdrop to Morrisroe's life. I highly recommend both cd and book.
