Patricia Hickson brings together the work of Andy Warhol and Robert Mapplethorpe, shedding new light on their artistic styles and themes. This illustrated book offers a fresh perspective on the lives and works of these two iconic figures, whose photography challenged societal norms and conventions. By examining their portraits and self-portraits side by side, Hickson reveals intriguing parallels and contrasts between Warhol's pop art sensibilities and Mapplethorpe's more intimate and personal approach. Through its detailed analysis, Guise & Dolls provides a unique insight into the artistic visions of these two pioneers, making it an essential resource for anyone interested in contemporary art, photography, or the history of American culture.
