One-Man Show: The Life and Art of Bernard Perlin

    A unique and strikingly detailed insight into the life of one of art’s most interesting and controversial figures.

     


    The latest new release from Germanic coffee table connoisseurs Bruno Gmunder is a visually stunning and historically intriguing work of art. It chronicles the various nefarious escapades of gay art legend Bernard Perlin.

    A contentious and controversial figure on the mid 20th century American art scene, Perlin and his work were unapologetically and shockingly gay at a time when it was still seen as morally and legally questionable.

    He was a much-lauded and well known figure in the intriguing world of 40s and 50s gay society, moving among other legends like Truman Capote, Leonard Bernstein and Jerome Robbins.

    In One-Man Show, Michael Schreiber chronicles his extraordinary life, with interviews and examples of his art, as well as never-before-seen exerpts from unpublished memoirs, and intimate photographs.
