He studied painting, drawing, and sculpture in Brooklyn in the 1960s and started taking photographs when he acquired a Polaroid camera, in 1970.\nBeginning 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, Mapplethorpe Flora: The Complete Flowers.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Phaidon Press","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":44983810195509,"sku":"ByrdShop_0714871311","price":544.56,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0627\/8139\/0901\/files\/9780714871318_e1447f41-7516-465c-8b3a-cd8b2687ceff.jpg?v=1778860556","url":"https:\/\/atxbooks.com\/products\/mapplethorpe-flora-the-complete-flowers-9780714871318","provider":"ATX Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
