50 Masters of Photography (16) --- Robert Mapplethorpe

Robert Mapplethorpe (1946-1989) was born in 1946 as the third of six children and spent a comfortable childhood on Long Island. After studying painting at the Pratt Institute in Brooklyn and his first sculptures, Mapplethorpe turned to photography. At first, the artist created collages from old photographs, taken from magazines or books.

This early interest in photography reflects the increasing influence photography had on the art of the time, as admired by Robert Mapplethorpe in Andy Warhol's works. In 1970 he moved to the Chelsea Hotel together with Patti Smith. In 1972 Mapplethorpe finally began to take his own photographs using a polaroid camera. His initial intention was to incorporate these photographs in his paintings.

Mapplethorpe's first polaroids were self-portraits and protraits of his friends. Only in the mid 1970s does photography as an artistic medium move into the center of his works. He produced comprehensive series of photographs, showing artists, celebrities, porn stars and members of the SM-scene. With this so-called "brutalic chic", Robert Mapplethorpe hit the prevailing trend of the 1980s. The conservatives were up in arms, while the Avant-garde celebrate Mapplethorpe's work as art.

Furthermore, Mapplethorpe's works from the early 1980s were enriched by a closer look at classical beauty, during this time he created his artistic nude photographs, sensual flower still lives and portraits of artists.

Robert Mapplethorpe died of Aids in 1989. The artist's oeuvre is inextricably linked with the terms sex and excess, lust and dominance, making him one of the most controversial and one of the greatest photographers of our time.

Since the mid 1970s Robert Mapplethorpe's work has been shown at numerous solo and group exhibitions, including "documenta 6" in 1977. In 1988, shortly before he died of Aids, the New York Whitney Museum hosted a Robert Mapplethorpe retrospective.

Robert Mapplethorpe 是历史上最有争议的摄影家之一。

Robert Mapplethorpe 有句名言： “美丽和邪恶(魔鬼)是同样的东西” (Beauty and the devil are the same thing)。 从他自己短短的43年生命和无数的摄影作品中, 无疑都充分地体现出这一点。

Robert Mapplethorpe 是个同性恋者, 最后死于艾滋病。 同时, 他是个天才的摄影师, 对传统的用光技术运筹帷幄, 很多花卉都拍的非常精致。 但他更多的摄影作品都在渲染变态的性, 虐和暴力。 他的一些作品和色情图片的界限很模糊，更有甚者, 他曾在作品里暴露三岁女孩的性器官。 因此他的每次展览, 都会引起争议, 都引起自由和保守两派关于道德观的辩论, 甚至国会参议员也参加争吵。

我当然看过黄色图片, 但感觉看黄色图片和看Robert Mapplethorpe的作品有很大的不同。黄色图片的宗旨是 Entertainment, 看过就忘了，但看Robert Mapplethorpe的作品其实非常不舒服, 我不喜欢那种震撼, 除了地狱般的邪恶外, 感受到更多的是作者那种扭曲灵魂发出的咝哑的呐喊和痛苦的呻吟。（可能这就是变态的艺术感染力）

很多天才都是有毛病的人， Minor White 是个双性恋; Diane Arbus 有精神病, 最后割腕自杀。 我想学习大师的摄影技术, 但更想当个正常的人。
