The men in my life : a memoir of love and art in… di Patricia Bosworth
Library copy was due and I didn't finish nor care about going back to do so. Fine writing but her story of sticking with a bad boyfriend did not entice me.
Bosworth's writing is pretty good. I read this book about 10 years ago and Stix is reading it for the first time. We heard Bosworth speak at BAM during the Clift series in March 2010.
What can be said about Diane Arbus that would capture what her photographs do? Nothing really. Her street photography and portraits proved she was a beacon for the people on the outskirts and she was WAY ahead of her time. This bio is an intimate detailed account of her too short life in all of its intensity and daring. If you haven't heard of her and like disarming and sometimes grotesque photography, I encourage you to check her out. As a long time fan, I can say this bio put her art in perspective for me.… (altro)
Excellent biography of actor Montgomery Clift which contained a lot of interviews with friends, co-stars and family members as well as listings of plays and films in which he appeared. Highly recommended.
