MAPPLETHORPE: LOOK AT THE PICTURES
A film by Fenton Bailey & Randy Barbato
The only thing more outrageous than Robert Mapplethorpe's photographs was his life. This is the portrait of an artist who turned contemporary photography into a fine art, with a vision that created a culture war, still raging to this day.
