Description
Robert Mapplethorpe's Polaroid photographs from the 1970s showcase his unique style that would later earn him international acclaim. This new paperback edition brings together almost 300 images from the Robert Mapplethorpe Foundation's archive and private collections, offering a critical view of Mapplethorpe's formative years as an artist. The book reveals the themes that inspired Mapplethorpe throughout his career, featuring a selection of color Polaroids and objects incorporating his early "instant" photography. The images convey a range of emotions, from tenderness to immediacy, offering a personal glimpse into Mapplethorpe's artistry. This collection provides an illuminating contrast to the polished work for which Mapplethorpe is best known. By tracing the development of Mapplethorpe's use of instant photography over five years, this book offers a unique insight into the artist's creative process. With self-portraits, figure studies, still lifes, portraits of friends and lovers, and observations of everyday objects, these fragile images showcase Mapplethorpe's spontaneity and curiosity as an artist.
