Introduction to the works of Robert Mapplethorpe

Robert loves photographing men’s body parts. Shocking male nudes, black-and-white portraits, floral still lifes, and photos of SM abusers and sexual perverts have been widely exhibited and are the subject of serious concern in Europe and the United States. Some boldly exposed, well-made and highly impactful human body works have been banned from public sale in some countries such as Japan. The unexpected shape of the characters in the picture, coupled with the strange marks all over the body, and the messy sheets piled up under the feet, completely ignore the possibility of public aesthetic acceptance, thus bringing body photography into the modern category with a challenging way of thinking. .
