Vast tracts of criticism have been devoted to Robert Mapplethorpe's
infamous persona as a sexual outlaw and to his more notorious
photographs, especially his S and M imagery. In Mapplethorpe and
the Flower, Derek Conrad Murray refocuses this critical gaze and
produces the first book-length examination of the artist's flower
photographs. Mapplethorpe was a dedicated and disciplined
formalist, who was committed to identifying what was most beautiful
about his subject and whose precise and controlled photography
belied his permissive public image. In this book, Murray offers the
exciting interpretation that the flower images represent the apogee
of Mapplethorpe's marriage of formal sophistication with his own
conceptual bravado. He thus allows for a provocative new reading of
this fascinating artist, which challenges the myth that has grown
around him.
