Bearded Lady’s Manifesto

Apr 29, 1979

“Philip Galas is a brave and original young artist who unabashedly invents a beautiful and ridiculous self. His mixture of romantic imagery and absurd literature and mode-made drama marks him as a true post-modernist. It’s good to have him with us.” - Eleanor Antin
