This vital, expansive book illuminates one of our most impactful, daring, yet misunderstood artists working at the intersection of photography and film. Dirk Reynders has achieved something remarkable in his critical unpacking of Larry Clark’s complex and lasting investment in the representation of youth, masculinity and the male body. * Derek Murray, Professor of History of Art and Visual Culture, University of California, Santa Cruz, USA * An incisive and powerful exploration of how images shape identities, challenge norms, and provoke ethical reflection, offering both a critical framework and a compelling tribute to Clark’s controversial legacy. * Hilde Van den Bulck, Professor of Communication Studies, Drexel University, USA * Reynder’s critical examination of Clark’s work covers a number of theoretical lenses: masculinities, performance in photography, LGBTQ+ cultures, and gender and identity. Capturing Clark’s unflinching career in all its rawness, it highlights the impact of visual culture on modern society. * Frank New, Fashion Historian, Massey University, College of Creative Arts, New Zealand * This book will become a classic, offering a journey into the darkened world of Larry Clark. It reveals new ways of thinking about masculinity and visual culture and is sure to become an iconic reader for film and gender studies. * Joseph H. Hancock II, Professor, Drexel University, USA *
