He studied painting, drawing, and sculpture in Brooklyn in the 1960s and started taking photographs when he acquired a Polaroid camera, in 1970. Beginning in 1973 and until his death in 1989, Mapplethorpe explored the flower with extraordinary dedication, using a range of photographic processes - from Polaroids to dye-transfer color works. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eIn carefully constructed compositions, he captured roses, orchids, snapdragons, daisies, tulips and other species - both common and rare - and forever transformed the way we perceive a classic and familiar subject. The result - a stunning body of work - is collected in this elegant book, with a foreword by Mapplethorpe's close friend Dimitri Levas and an introduction by Herbert Muschamp.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Robert Mapplethorpe\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 1838668217\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781838668211\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Phaidon Press\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 05\/22\/2024\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 368\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Hardcover\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 7.15lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 11.80h x 12.30w x 1.50d","brand":"Robert Mapplethorpe","offers":[{"title":"Hardcover","offer_id":44761120735487,"sku":"9781838668211","price":100.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_1bc10b37-1880-42ac-a1df-3a24b5bbcb10.jpg?v=1706680429","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/mapplethorpe-flora-robert-mapplethorpe-9781838668211","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
