reinvestagation
I cannot remember how in our gr op made a mention that some of the images that where on exhibit in the HIDE/SEEK show where created by Robert Maypplethorpe. I had missed this the first time walking though the show (forgetting my eye glasses may have had something to do with this). So after eating lunch I just had to go back up and find the images. As it turns out one was a self-portrait and the other was a female nude. I had to go back up and look because I had never seen his work live.I only new of his work,and that was a long time ago. Back when his image Piss Christ really pissed a lot of people off. So I had to look him up when I got home. And I had forgotten how beautiful his work is. Robert is gone but his inspiration lives on... Robert Mapplethorpe

Thanks for writing about Mapelthorpe. Actually "Piss Christ" was by Andreas Serrano. Maplethorpe did cause a big stir though.
