Robert Mapplethorpe: Polaroids


Description

Critically praised for his finely modeled and classically composed photographs, Robert Mapplethorpe remains intensely controversial and enormously popular. This book brings together almost three hundred images from the Robert Mapplethorpe Foundation's archive and private collections, to provide a critical view of Mapplethorpe's formative years as an artist. These works reveal the themes that would inspire Mapplethorpe throughout his career. Included is a selection of his color Polaroids and objects incorporating his early "instant" photography. Some images convey a disarming tenderness and vulnerability, others a toughness and immediacy that would give way in later years to more classical form. The author traces the development of Mapplethorpe's use of instant photography during a period of five years, from 1970 to 1975, when the artist worked mainly in this medium. The images include self-portraits, figure studies, still lifes, portraits of lovers and friends such as Patti Smith, Sam Wagstaff and Marianne Faithful and observations of everyday objects. Marked by a spontaneity and creative curiosity, these fragile images offer an illuminating contrast to the glossy perfection of the work for which Mapplethorpe is best known, allowing us a more personal glimpse of his artistry.

The Apostle Paul taught the people in the churches which he planted that God had saved them in order to come and live inside them through his Holy Spirit. In 49AD, Paul wrote his letter to the Galatians to teach them how the Holy Spirit makes people free on the inside. In 60AD, he wrote to the Ephesians to explain how the Holy Spirit made people new on the inside, and to the Colossians to teach them how the Spirit makes people strong on the inside too. In 61AD, he wrote to the Philippians to teach them how the Holy Spirit makes people joyful on the inside. The Straight to the Heart of series of devotional commentaries allow people to get to grips with each book of the Bible one bite at a time. Phil Moore does not cover the whole of each book, but Robert Mapplethorpe: Polaroids pdf rather focuses on key sections which together form a useful introduction. There will be 25 volumes in all, each containing 60 readings. The short chapters are punchy and relevant, yet crammed with fascinating scholarship.
