I've been reading Patti Smith's memoir, Just Kids. I know nowt about Patti and only a glimmer of Robert Mapplethorpe's photography, but it's been a beautiful ride through to the 60s and 70s. Has anyone else read this?
(a truly gorgeous photo of Mapplethorpe, above)
I found him by accident and fell in love with the history of him and her and all the aspiring/future pop culture icons living at the Chelsea hotel. Saw the documentary of Mapplethorpe on HBO .That where I found him. Controversial to say the least but relevant and necessary. He is worthy, in my opinion, of a great legacy.
ReplyDeleteI fell in love with the photo of Donald Sutherland.
