Mapplethorpe: Look at the Pictures
Photographs by Robert Mapplethorpe — widely recognized as the most controversial photographer of the twentieth century — capture nude men in rubber suits, close-ups of erections, and objects inserted into the most intimate spaces. Openly gay, Mapplethorpe pushed depictions of male sex, nudity, and fetish to extremes, a line of work that some label as pornography masquerading as art. Yet what is less discussed are the serene, striking portraits of flowers, sculptures, and meticulously composed human forms that are equally pioneering and powerful.
