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\n\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":"Phaidon","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":46353016684641,"sku":"PA-4A4A43BF","price":100.0,"currency_code":"CAD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0628\/7189\/6161\/files\/Screenshot-2024-08-21-at-12.19.40PM_R.jpg?v=1786229856","url":"https:\/\/store.presentagent.vip\/products\/phaidon-mapplethorpe-flora-phaidonmulti","provider":"Present Agent","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
