as a matter of fact it did, robert maplethorpe died from aids related illness years ago, he fancied himself an artist, i think he was a crappy photographer.
exactly. this Is Robert Mapplethorpe. he lived with Patti Smith and shot most of her album covers in the 70's. he died of AIDS. he got big NEA grants to do all this stuff. NEA means the US government paid for it.
My hatred of him just intesified to a blinding degree. If you want to make shit like this on your own penny, that's your business - I just don't want to look at it. But mooching taxpayer money for this is just plain wrong.
I'd disagree even further: he was an amazingly talented photographer period. Not all of his subject matter is for everyone, true, but a lot of it is...have you ever seen his flower shots. Amazing
