Frank C. Moore (painter)

Frank C. Moore (1953 –2002) was a New York-based painter, winner of the Logan Medal of the arts, who was famous even among those who don't know his paintings as the designer of the universally recognized logo the red AIDS ribbon, which was his contribution as an activist in Visual Aids, the artist wing of Act Up. Deeply indebted to Surrealism, Moore's paintings frequently depict dream scenarios and futuristic landscapes, often with environmental sub-texts (in a picture-postcard Niagara Falls, chemical signatures of pollutants drift in the mist), or references to AIDS (in "Viral Romance", 1992, a reversed bouquet blooms human immunodeficiency virus). His political stance was broad and nuanced with homoerotic imagery. He died of AIDS in 2002.
