The environment in which Wojnarowicz grew up was hardly conducive to formal education of any sort let alone art education.
Self-taught he drew painted and penned works paying homage to the literary efforts of Jean Genet (1910 1986) and William Burroughs (1914 1997) two greatly adored fellow homosexuals and social outlaws.
Wojnarowicz`s paintings of the early 1980s were dominated by acrylics on cheap panels collages using fragments of printed material such as advertisements and from time to time works with elements such as text that appeared to have been hammered roughly onto the canvas. Never the most aesthetically pleasing of paintings for that very reason his works throw into vivid relief violence sex the power of politics to intervene in both the powerlessness of people and the inherent beauty of life's fragility all acutely perceived
From the second half of the 80s Wojnarowicz employed a cheap camera to produce numerous monochrome photographic works In Untitled from Sex Series (1988-89) a series of eight photographs he inserts images related to the act of reproduction into documentary photos evoking American history suggesting an intimate connection between the destructive and consumption-driven behaviors repeated throughout human history and irrepressible human desires.
