Patricia Morrisroe

Mapplethorpe (eBook, ePUB)

A Biography

• Format: ePub

Produktbeschreibung

With Robert Mapplethorpe's full endorsement and encouragement, Morrisroe interviewed more than three hundred friends, lovers, family members, and critics to form this definitive biography of America's most censored and celebrated photographer. "Eventually I found several hundred people who knew Robert Mapplethorpe in all his various incarnations-Catholic schoolboy; ROTC cadet; hippie; sexual explorer; celebrated artist; and famous AIDS victim. Their stories helped animate his pictures and bring his visual diary to life. What I discovered wasn't one "Perfect Moment" but a series of moments-some pure, some blemished, but all emblematic of the paradoxical times in which he lived."-Patricia Morrisroe, from the Introduction NOTE: This edition does not include photographs.

Morrisroe has written for numerous other publications, including Vanity Fair, Vogue, and The New York Times. In 2010, she wrote Wide Awake: A Memoir of Insomnia, which blended science, culture, and personal insight to tell the story she shares with forty million other Americans about not being able to sleep at night. With her husband, Lee, she divides her time between a noisy apartment in New York City and a relatively quiet house in Westchester County.
