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.In 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":"Mark Holborn","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":44213149302844,"sku":"9781838668211","price":39995.0,"currency_code":"PKR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0714\/7706\/7836\/files\/9781838668211.jpg?v=1776707207","url":"https:\/\/libertybooksstore.myshopify.com\/products\/mapplethorpe-flora-the-complete-flowers","provider":"LibertyBooksStore","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
