Produktbeschreibungen
From Library Journal
Patti Smith's foreword, "A Final Flower," is a poetic tribute to the late photographer whose recent retrospective exhibition sparked a national legal debate over censorship in the arts. Smith's observation that Mapplethorpe embraced "the flower as the embodiment of all the contradictions reveling within," and in these photographs "found it was as easy to hurl beauty as anything else," enlarges this work in a meaningful way. The 50 color photographs of flowers taken over the past decade "by one who caused a modern shudder" are surprisingly conventional yet uniquely striking in their composition and lighting; Smith attributes their power to Mapplethorpe's "unflinching perception of the color, form and personality of the flower." The book's simple and sublime presentation--each opening a full-page plate facing a blank--serves to remind us that Mapplethorpe was a masterful photographer, not just an iconoclast.

Kurzbeschreibung
The theme of flowers is woven throughout Robert Mapplethorpe's oeuvre, coming to signify some of his deepest concerns as an artist. The photographs in Flowers range from images of the early 1980's to many taken in the months just before his death.

This is a book of pictures that are technically breathtaking as photographs and emotionally moving as pictures. The images evoke deep feelings but whether the artist's feelings in making them are the same as mine in viewing them, I cannot tell. They are far too subtle for that.
These are photographs of flowers. As photographs, they are amazing. But the real worth of the collection is that the pictures he created are of other worldly things.
I have lots of books of photographs and of paintings, too. I have none that I think exceeds Mapplethorpe's achievements here.

I have been an admirer of Mapplethorpe's work since the beginning. I first became interested when I felt a connection between his and Irving Penn's pictures. My own work has been enormously influenced by both these photographer's technique and I will always bow to their depiction of seemingly ordinary subjects as much more than they appear at first glance. Often we lose the inclination to really look and Mapplethorpe, at his best, encouraged and sometimes, gently forced us to do that. These photos are sensuous and very beautiful.

Mapplethorpe is notorious for his explicit images of nudity and homosexuality, but in this wonderful set of photographs he reveals the true breadth of his talent and gives us a book that can be safely left on the coffee table no matter who is visiting. Each full page photograph is a beautiully composed study of flower, receptacle, and background. There is only one word to describe the quality of light, the balance and contrast of colours, shapes, textures, and the technical proficiency with which they are captured ... Perfect. Buy it!!
