Painting Moments tells the true-life story of Nick Palazzo, a brilliant and prolific young painter who died of AIDS before his thirtieth birthday. From a series of essays and interviews as well as extensive excerpts from the artist's own diaries, the particulars of his all too brief life are revealed. His character, the style and subjects of his paintings, and the critics' reaction to his work are detailed. A fourfold message emerges: love of life, acceptance of suffering, defiance of death and the translucent promise of hope. This book is a belated recognition of one man's triumph over isolation, ignorance and illness.
