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":"Mia Karts","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":52161532985632,"sku":"NEW1838668217","price":112.22,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0980\/7426\/3840\/files\/71mMJXVBq-L.jpg?v=1786129544","url":"https:\/\/miakarts.com\/products\/mapplethorpe-flora-the-complete-flowers-1838668217","provider":"Miakarts Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
