Robert Mapplethorpe strived for perfection in his work and avoided anything that would obstruct this primary goal. His ideal was a classical perfection that in many ways linked him more closely to nineteenth- or early twentieth-century photographers than to the generation that immediately preceded him, which employed various strategies for undercutting the picturesque. Like earlier photographers, he looked to painting as a model of composition. He said about his work that, “Perfection means you don’t question anything about the photograph.”
Perfect Likeness is on view through September 13. http://bit.ly/1GnVvB0
