An intimate account, in three interlocked themes, of one man's
remarkably complex life. ART: Budd Hopkins is a nationally known
Abstract Expressonist painter, with works in the collections of the
Guggenheim, Whitney, and Metropolitan Museums, as well as Boston's
Museum of Fine Arts and New York's Museum of Modern Art. In this
revealing memoir, Hopkins explains the development of his work and
describes with keen insight his friendships with senior artists
such as Franz Kline, Mark Rothko, and Robert Motherwell, and the
importance he finds in their work. LIFE: Beginning with his
childhood and youth in West Virginia, a period that remains a
central theme in this memoir, Hopkins goes on to discuss his life
as a victim of polio during the pandemic of the 1930s, his complex
relationship with his father, his participation in the famous
"Cedar Bar years" of Abstract Expressionism, his adventures evading
the attentions of several prominent members in New York's once
closeted gay scene, and his summer life in Cape Cod. UFOs: Hopkins
has also spent more than 30 years investigating UFO reports and is
considered the world expert on UFO abductions. He has authored four
seminal books on the subject, including "Missing Time" and the New
York Times bestseller "Intruders," which was the subject of a CBS
miniseries. Among the personal or professional relationships he
writes about during his research are those with the astronomers
Carl Sagan and J. Allen Hynek, the philanthropist Laurence
Rockefeller, and the Harvard psychiatrist John Mack.
