Edward Gorey photographed by Bill Cunningham

A B&W photo from the 1970s of illustrator Edward Gorey, looking tall, burly and authoritative as he wears a huge furry coat (possibly a raccoon coat) and sunglasses on a NYC street, with other well-dressed New Yorkers watching him.

I’ve always liked Gorey’s work but I don’t think I’ve ever seen a picture of him. Now I LOVE Gorey!

I adore Gorey, and the fact that he was college roommates with Frank O’Hara, whom I also adore.

The photo was used in the NYT's highly favorable review about a recent Gorey biography, which includes this gem of a line about the best way to come out to another person.

Text reading, "Gorey was supremely skilled in the art of evasion and misdirection," Mr. Dery said. When pressed about his sexuality, or probed about his childhood as an intellectually gifted only son in Chicago, “he would respond with a long anecdote about the use of wallpaper in the TV series 'Knots Landing.""
