Description
This new edition presents the definitive collection of Robert Mapplethorpe’s exquisite flower photographs, showcasing the work of one of the twentieth century’s most significant artists. Mapplethorpe, renowned for his provocative and groundbreaking art, began his journey in the visual arts with painting, drawing, and sculpture in Brooklyn during the 1960s. His foray into photography started in 1970 with a Polaroid camera, leading to an intense exploration of floral subjects from 1973 until his death in 1989.
Mapplethorpe’s flower photography is characterized by meticulously constructed compositions, capturing the delicate beauty of roses, orchids, snapdragons, daisies, tulips, and other species. His work transcends the traditional portrayal of flowers, offering a new perspective on a classic theme. The collection in this book, enhanced by a foreword from Mapplethorpe’s close friend Dimitri Levas and an introduction by Herbert Muschamp, is a testament to Mapplethorpe’s exceptional ability to transform the way we perceive common subjects into extraordinary works of art.
