#MapplethorpeMondays—“For me, S&M means sex and magic, not sadomasochism.”—Robert Mapplethorpe. The artist’s photographs of men who participated in New York City’s S&M subcultures during the 1970s and ’80s are often considered to be near-documentary portrayals, but they nonetheless share the carefully crafted poses and rigorous formal choices characteristic of Mapplethorpe’s other compositions.

Like many of Mapplethorpe’s portraits in the 1970s, this photograph features elements designed to elicit shock. The same-sex couple, posed in hyper masculine leather outfits, display bondage equipment that reinforces the perceived power imbalance suggested by their age difference. Most jarring, perhaps, is the mismatch between the sitters’ self-presentation and the conservative domestic setting in which this scene is staged, as Mapplethorpe locates the culturally taboo in the space of the everyday.

enrico_mastai I consider Mapplethorpe a talented artist who devoted his talent to pay homage and obedience to sin, The photografy might be considered as a self portrait in which he is the seated young man,
