During the late 1970s, David Armstrong became associated with the “Boston School” of photography, which included artists such as Nan Goldin, Mark Morrisroe, and Jack Pierson. 
Armstrong first received critical attention for his intimate male portraits but in contrast with the sharpness of these early works, he then began photographing cityscapes and landscapes in soft focus, so clearly exemplified in the trio of works offered here.
