Sexy, arty, unconventional PICS

Thanks for posting all the R. M. photos. There were several I hadn't seen before.
 
What???

No submission Jake?

Not acceptable!

My critiquing skills are going to whither away

amidst these crass and plebian (although Racy as hell) offerings.

I know you are a man of taste and discrimination.

I love the new pix, and I will come back to them -- but I gotta voice my love back a page to the wonderful Mapplethorpe pieces...
He was an amazing artist that opened many, MANY doors for gay men around the world, on every continent. People don't realize He was a giant that walked the earth a brief tumultuous time.

The truly great artists show us things we've never seen before, and Robert Mapplethorpe did exactly that with absolutely no reservations. He took the crushing blows of conservative censorship so that artists that came after him would have a safe world to work in without being silenced by "Big Brother." There's still a long road to travel but at least it's partially paved now.

I don't think people truly appreciate His impact in getting a light of respect shined down upon us. And although we lost him in the late 80's in that first massive wave of HIV deaths that also claimed Freddy Mercury, Rock Hudson, painter Keith Haring, fashion designer Perry Ellis, tennis giant Arthur Ashe and millions of unsung souls the world will never have a chance to know, His legacy is cemented for the ages in their honor.

I'm proud to say my liberal minded parents took us to see the controversial traveling exhibit of his photographs at the New Museum of Contemporary Art in Chicago in the Spring of 1989,
only a couple weeks after his death. I particularly liked the portrait of Donald Sutherland (his large-scale, highly stylized celebrity portraits are simplistic in nature yet infinitely complex in essence often illuminating aspects of the person's personality people have ne'er yet seen) and his sensual still-life photos depicting various flowers in all their erotic glory [Georgia O'Keeffe would have surely loved these/she inspired many of them].

Since His death, the Robert Mapplethorpe Foundation has not only functioned as his official estate and helped promote his brilliant artwork throughout the world, it has also raised and donated millions of dollars to fund medical research in the fight against AIDS and HIV. So....

A moment of silence for Mr. Robert Mapplethorpe...

okay, y'all can be noisy again.

And if you would like to read something that touches on the eloquence and beauty in His magnificent work, please check this out.

He lived with Patti Smith when they both arrived in New York in the 1970's...and they were lifelong friends.

And here's a wonderful piece about their awkward yet unconditional love for one another.
Patti Smith: "There's No Comparison" by Andrew Bucket
[a terrific read/insightful and incredibly revealing]
Theirs was a relationship as harrowing and timeless as any Greek Tragedy or Tennessee Williams tale.
A street poet and an artist whose eyes were taken way too soon.
A Streetcar Named Mapplethorpus Rex...

I love Patti Smith too, she's a Rock and Roll Hall of Famer, and rightly so!

Fantastic post, Tzu, thanks. I especially appreciate the info on Patti Smith.
 
Thank you eJ, I get enthusiastic-plus when it comes to my favorite artists; Rembrandt, Monet, Michael Stipe, the 2 Andys/ Warhol and Kaufman, Andres Serrano, Frank Loyd Wright and Louis Kahn, Mel Brooks and Martin Scorsese, Jello Biafra, Kurt Cobain and Layne Staley, Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart and Ludwig von Beethoven, oh yes, and that Lady Gaga fellow, for certain! That bish is just crazy brilliant! I love her audacity; her unbridled arrogance; and the unmitigated gall in her sheer contempt for common boredom. haHA!
Gotta love those people willing to go that extra mile to achieve their vision and bring something original and refreshing to the table. They give 110% and then some.

Mapplethorpe took chances that put him ahead of the pack.
A lot of these photos were exposed right onto large canvases. They really are a sight to see up close and in person.
 
ShisTzuTylenol,

What a great description about Robert Mapplethorpe. I remember all the controversial about him back in the 80's when I was a teenager. I was still coming to terms with my sexuality back then. And I remember feeling almost scared about it because of this hatred towards this man who dared to show in art all the different shades of eroticism. To be that free, to be that comfortable, to be that naked and unapologetic. On one hand it was thrilling...but on the other I was frightened. To be that comfortable at daring to show sexuality - male sexuality - that freely and to be hatred by it...it made me think they would hate me.

Eventually - thankfully - I got over that fear and I eventually came cross Robert Mapplethorpe years later and I agree with everything you said...he's a master...an artist. And not just with the sexual...but in the beauty of everything.

If there is a photographer that belongs here on this thread...it's him! ..|
