He did etchings of Bowery too... some of my favorite works of art. Leigh Bowery was rarely seen publicly out of his fantastical outfits, so the etchings of him as a large naked man are especially striking and show his humanity.
If you like Leigh Bowery, one of his recent spiritual descendants is Daniel Lismore.
- DonHopkins 9y agoWow, thank you for that tip about Daniel Lismore! I also really love Klaus Nomi's work too, of course. While I was exploring Leigh Bowery's work on youtube, I ran across VJ ladypat, who made a mesmerizing video to Leigh Bowery's charming lullaby "Useless Man" (N-fucking-SFW!!!): A RMX BY ADAM SKY OF THE SEMINAL MINTY / LEIGH BOWERY TRACK 'USELESS MAN'.
