#MapplethorpeMondays—in this self-portrait, which would prove to be one of Robert Mapplethorpe’s last, his gaunt face appears to float within a black void as his hand clutches a skull-topped walking cane in the picture’s foreground. Mapplethorpe died soon after, in early 1989, from AIDS-related complications. That he chose to represent himself in such a haunting manner, holding an overtly morbid symbol of death, speaks to an awareness and acceptance of his own mortality. Despite the artist’s weakened condition, his confident expression and firm grasp exude a characteristic sense of control and mastery of all things, even death. Cognizant of his limited time following a 1986 diagnosis, Mapplethorpe worked to safeguard his legacy during his final years, preparing for two retrospective exhibitions and establishing the Robert Mapplethorpe Foundation to manage his estate, support the medium of photography in arts institutions, and fund HIV/AIDS medical research.

henrietta_smiled I had no idea who he was until I read about him just now after seeing this post. Had no clue he took one of my favorite iconic images of Patti Smith that was the cover of her Horses album. I love that fem masculinity style she has in that photo! Guess theres a movie that came out in 2018 about him. Would like to see more of his photographs. Patti Smith was such a hottie in her younger days. ? #noshamehere He was pretty risque photographer some of the time. In my opinion I just take what I want and leave tbe rest. I don't think someone should be judged so harshly. Art is just too taboo for the weak minded especially those that obviously lack open mindedness.
