Robert Mapplethorpe was one of the most influential photographers of the 20th century. His work is known for its unflinching exploration of sexuality, beauty, and death. In Mapplethorpe And The Flower, Mapplethorpe turns his lens to the natural world, capturing the beauty of flowers with his signature precision and artistry.

The book features over 100 photographs of flowers, each one a testament to Mapplethorpe's mastery of composition and light. The flowers are photographed in a variety of settings, from close-ups that reveal their delicate details to more abstract compositions that explore their shapes and forms.

Mapplethorpe And The Flower is a stunning homage to the beauty of the natural world. It is also a meditation on mortality, as the flowers in the book are both beautiful and ephemeral. The book is a reminder that beauty is fleeting, and that we should cherish it while we can.
