I decided to research a different photographer on our list: Robert Mappelthorpe. After reading his short biography, I found out his connection to the previous photographer I had researched: Ugo Mulas. Mapplethorpe was born in Queens in 1946 and was greatly influenced by Marcel Duchamp, much like Ugo Mulas (I had posted Mulas’ picture of Marcel Duchamp previously). Both photographers also specialized in photographing celebrities such as Andy Warhol. In his picture of Warhol below, the simple nature of the picture is profound due to the contrasting. I have included Mulas’ version below Mapplethorpe’s to show the difference between the two artists.
