Description:
This comprehensive exhibition showcases over 200 works by the iconic American photographer Robert Mapplethorpe, celebrated for his bold exploration of the human form and his unique blend of modern aesthetics with classical influences. The display emphasizes his use of light, symmetry, and composition to create strikingly elegant and provocative images, including portraits, still lifes, and nudes. Special attention is given to his dialogue with classical art traditions.
