**Robert Mapplethorpe (1946-1989)
#USA
Robert Mapplethorpe made the male body into a disciplined formal subject sometimes classical, sometimes erotic with a camera vocabulary borrowed from sculpture and studio portraiture.
His black-and-white images are polished, architectural, and often confrontational; they pose beauty and eroticism as intentional compositions where every curve and shadow is measured.
Mapplethorpe’s male n.des reclaim bodily form as both fetish and fine art, simultaneously clinical and sensual, and they forced museums and audiences to rethink where boundaries lay between art and taboo.
His aesthetic is cool, precise, and unflinching a study in the camera’s ability to ennoble and objectify at once.
