Confessions of a Flash Artist Renald Iacovelli

In Confessions of a Flash Artist, performance artist Dr. Humphrey Humdinger makes the case for "Dramatic Exposure" as an avant-garde art form capable of achieving new heights of dramatic expression. How he invented this art, his first crude attempts in it, his final mastery of it, and all the aesthetic and philosophical notions that occurred to him along the way, make his memoir a groundbreaking and seminal document. It also serves as an inspiration for people who, as he says in his closing pages, "persevere in maintaining their ideals in the face of hostility, closed-mindedness, and outmoded notions of the public weal."
