You’re never going to get anywhere in life if you don’t live up to your obligations.

Robert Mapplethorpe

Lydia Cheng 1985

Robert Mapplethorpe (November 4, 1946 – March 9, 1989) was an American photographer, known for his large-scale, highly stylized black and white portraits, photos of flowers and naked men. The frank, homosexual eroticism of some of the work of his middle period triggered a more general controversy about the public funding of artworks.
