Biography Login to edit

George Dureau was an American artist whose forty-year career was most notable for charcoal sketches and black and white photography of poor white and black athletes, dwarfs, and amputees. Many critics[who?] have called his work homoerotic. Although lesser known than Robert Mapplethorpe, Mapplethorpe is said to have been inspired by Dureau's amputee and dwarf photographs, which showed the figures as "exposed and vulnerable, playful and needy, complex and entirely human individuals." His 1999 New Orleans Jazz Festival painting depicting Professor Longhair is widely regarded as the most impressive of all the Jazz Fest posters.
