Artist's Comments

Mapplethorpe, Robert 1946–1989
American artist whose single-image black-and-white photographs often depict flowers, the human nude, and male homoeroticism.
More about Mapplethorpe

After G.P. Lynes, Mapplethorpe is my favorite male nude photographer.
My favorite nude work of his is Man in polyester suit 1980.

An idea to try to copy his wors followed me for some time. In 2005 I had an agenda with his flower works. (In 2006 I've got a National Geographic Wildlife agenda)

This photo is a tribute to his flower-work.

very nice work, altough colors are a bit too strong for my taste. otherwise setting is original and interesting.

i laughed after i read a part about strong colors. i understand you.
most ppl would've had a headache in my room - it has intense vermilion (color between red and orange) walls. and it's even better/worse when there's a sunlight.

i like vermilion.

nevertheless - thank you.

The orange and the red are really strong, but I like that. And I like the contrast. It's like on fire.
Very wonderful picture!

Oh hehe, and it's Mapplethorpe, not Mapplethrope. Thanks for giving us a bit of information on him, I never knew anything about him besides his name.
