Curt McDowell

    Curt McDowell

    January 9, 1945 (80 years old) in Lafayette, Indiana, USA

    Curt McDowell worked in San Francisco from the late 1960s until his death in 1987 โ€“ a period that witnessed the Summer of Love, gay liberation, and the onset of HIV/AIDS, to which he succumbed at the age of forty-two. The author of numerous films that recast the American dream of plenty in pansexual terms, McDowell, like so many artists of his generation, indulged in the eraโ€™s carnal abundance, and his appetites and experiences are reflected in his work, which alternates between the revealing and the puerile.
