Robert Mapplethorpe:
He was a good photographer about technique, his prints have a high
technical quality as Richard Avedon was known in part thanks to his
high quality prints, those ones with the Agfa Brovira paper specially.
Mapplethorpe reflected his personal sexual preferences in his
artistical work but it does not have the subtlety to show and to
compose male and female bodies and their context that you can find in
most of Helmut Newton work to quote an example.
Mapplethorpe work has been favoured thanks to certain general disfavor
to facts in his life and because his work mixed good photographic
technique with sexual controversy and pornography and a bit of art and
personal tragedy, excellent coctail for a commercial success, but it
does not convert him in a master of the square format above other true
photography masters within or out of the square format IMO.-
Carlos
