Pieces of James: An Enquiry Into the Art and Life of James Manning

Pieces of James: An Enquiry Into the Art and Life of James Manning is the story of the discovery of all the fragments that comprised James’ life. The homoerotic imagery and huge fresco-style still lifes garnered him posthumous success in galleries across the country and an honourary degree from the internationally recognized Emily Carr Institute of Art and Design. Young’s exploration paints a life of creativity, elusiveness, pain and challenges of being gay or lesbian in our time.
