He was enormously admired for his completely uncompromising attitude towards work and life. Hujar was particularly well known for capturing intimate portraits of his close friends, including Andy Warhol, Susan Sontag and Candy Darling. Candy Darling was a transgender superstar who appeared in several of Warhol’s works in New York in the early 1970s. Hujar’s portrait of Candy shows her in a hospital bed, surrounded by flowers, before she died of cancer at the age of twenty-nine. Hujar had a deep understanding for the individuality of his subjects, conveying, at once, their armour and their vulnerability. Hujar died of aids-related pneumonia at the age of fifty-three, leaving behind a powerful and profound portfolio. His partner and mentoree at the time, American artist David Wojnarowicz, incorporated AIDS activism into his art until his death from the disease, five years later, in 1992. Hujar’s extraordinary book, Portraits in Life and Death, with an introduction by Susan Sontag, was published in 1976. Today is International Day Against Homophobia, Transphobia and Biphobia, a day to raise awareness of the lasting impact of stigma, discrimination and abuse that LGBTQIA+ individuals around the world continue to experience. #IDAHOBIT #IDAHOBIT2023 Peter Hujar: 📷 Self Portrait (with a string around his neck) 1980 © @PeterHujarArchive 📷 Susan Sontag 1975 © @PeterHujarArchive 📷 David Wojnarowicz Reclining (II) 1981 © @PeterHujarArchive 📷 Candy Darling on her Deathbed 1973 © @PeterHujarArchive 📷 Paul Thek (II) 1975 © @PeterHujarArchive」5月17日 19時40分
