Sounds fascinating.<br /><br />There are some influences that are pervasive because, even if you don't look at the work yourself, other artists and especially commercial artists and filmmakers do, and so the ways of seeing and expression become part of the times. Mapplethorpe has such reach. Exposure to what he did "trickles down" or "expands outward" to us all, just from being alive now.Jean Spitzerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13520415864511680025noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5596223475426533484.post-69417408413291148692011-01-16T09:27:20.278-06:002011-01-16T09:27:20.278-06:00Nice work - figures are so hard, at least for me!Nice work - figures are so hard, at least for me!helenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17487040672600743298noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5596223475426533484.post-8585394843879992942011-01-14T00:06:37.134-06:002011-01-14T00:06:37.134-06:00I just finished listening to Patti Smith on Charli...I just finished listening to Patti Smith on Charlie Rose and did some Googling about her, Mapplethorpe and Sam Wagstaff. M'thorpe's S&M work is too extreme for me but I would really be interested to know how his work informed photography and art? Has he influenced anything you do, the NYT certainly believes his work has had a far reach.PJhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12059415005282675289noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5596223475426533484.post-37509673145108190592011-01-14T00:04:05.896-06:002011-01-14T00:04:05.896-06:00It's a complete characterization for me as wel...It's a complete characterization for me as well.
