Peter Hujar (1934-1987) was a leading figure in the group of artists, musicians, writers, and performers at the forefront of the cultural scene in downtown New York in the 1970s and early ’80s. He was known for his uncompromising attitude toward work and life. He was a consummate technician, and his portraits of people, animals, and landscapes, with their black-and-white tonalities, were influential. His first (and last) book, Portraits in Life and Death, with an introduction by Susan Sontag, was published in 1976.
