He studied painting, drawing, and sculpture in Brooklyn in the 1960s and started taking photographs when he acquired a Polaroid camera, in 1970. Beginning in 1973 and until his death in 1989, Mapplethorpe explored the flower with extraordinary dedication, using a range of photographic processes – from Polaroids to dye-transfer color works. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eIn carefully constructed compositions, he captured roses, orchids, snapdragons, daisies, tulips and other species – both common and rare – and forever transformed the way we perceive a classic and familiar subject. The result – a stunning body of work – is collected in this elegant book, with a foreword by Mapplethorpe’s close friend Dimitri Levas and an introduction by Herbert Muschamp.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"CMYK Book Store","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47409193091262,"sku":"9781838668211","price":10433.0,"currency_code":"INR","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0578\/9106\/1950\/files\/9781838668211_d0763f88-0bb6-4866-a9c4-b4058d96fb45.jpg?v=1779268101","url":"https:\/\/cmykbookstore.com\/products\/cmyk_9781838668211","provider":"CMYK Bookstore","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
