[edit] Personal Life
Armstrong was born in 1954, in Arlington, Massachusetts. He is openly homosexual, and uses this in his photography.
[edit] Career
Armstrong first received critical attention for his intimate portraits of men, either lovers or friends, in sharp focus.[1] In the nineties, he began to photograph cityscapes and landscapes in soft focus to contrast with the resolution of his portraits. Street lights, electric signs and cars are reduced to a sensual mottled blur, complementing the vividness and tactility of his portraits.[according to whom?] His photographs have been included in numerous group exhibitions including the 1995 Whitney Biennial [2] and Emotions and Relations at the Hamburger Kunsthalle. He attended the School of the Museum of Fine Arts and Cooper Union from 1974–78, and he earned a B.F.A from Tufts University in 1988.[citation needed] and Judy Ann Goldman Fine Art in Boston.[citation needed]
