Never More in Love, Jonathan,

Mark Morrisroe, American, 1959–1989
x1990-21
Morrisroe’s imaginative and deeply personal works capture the emotion connected to a moment in history that was both liberating and devastating. Created during the AIDS crisis, his images celebrate his subjects’ sexuality while mourning the loss of many to the epidemic. Art school classmate and renowned photographer Nan Goldin characterizes his works: "Both his pictures of his lovers, close friends, and objects of desire, and his touching still-lifes of rooms, dead flowers, and dream images stand as timeless fragments of his life, resonating with sexual longing, loneliness, and loss."
