Writing Sexuality inMapplethorpe's Photography


The subjects of Mapplethorpe’s erotic photographs are usually not models in studio depictions of sensuality.The subjects in his photographs demonstrate something they have allowed the artist to witness, not as a voyeur, but as the agent through which the customarily concealed is disclosed in art. The images exhibit sexual truth.
