History or Bio
Norman Shapiro is a prolific book artist that has been creating art for more than twenty years. He uses the computer, copier and hand drawn art as his medium to create his works. Norman works to create art that is erotic and pornographic in nature. Through his works Norman creates what turns him on, regardless of constraints placed upon him by society. He uses his art to push the boundaries of human sexuality and to break down what is deemed acceptable. Norman Shapiro is also an art teacher who has created a program to teach geometry through art.
Norman Shapiro’s art has been shown in various collections over the years. Samples of his work have been collected by the Museum of Modern Art Library in New York City, the Library of the Idaho State University, the Library of the Kinsey Institute, the Fine Arts Library Artist’s Books Collection and the Islip Museum in Islip, New York.
