Frank Moore
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Frank C. Moore (1953 –2002) was a New York-based painter, famous even among those who don't know his paintings as the designer of the universally recognized logo the red AIDS ribbon, his contribution as an activist in Visual Aids, the artist wing of Act Up. Deeply indebted to Surrealism, Moore's paintings frequently depict dream scenarios and futuristic landscapes, often with environmental sub-texts (in a picture-postcard Niagara Falls chemical signatures of pollutants drift in the mist), or references to AIDS (in "Viral Romance,1992, a reversed bouquet blooms human immunodeficiency virus). His political stance was broad and nuanced with homoerotic imagery. He died of AIDS in 2002. [1]
