Robert Mapplethorpe

Memory is visual.

Form follows emotion.

The lens reveals secrets.

I adore the male form.

Art is rebellion.

Simplicity is profound.

The shadow defines the light.

I live through my images.

Eroticism is art.

Perfection demands discipline.

The nude is eternal.

I capture fleeting moments.

Beauty endures.

Innovation comes from risk.

The artist must provoke thought.

My portraits reveal souls.

Life is a series of poses.

I embrace the controversial.

Harmony in tension.

The image is immortal.
