I chose this photography beacuse i feel very identified. This a photography by visual pop artist: Robert Mapplethorpe, friend of Andy Warhol, and it is part of the Queer Culture of years 60, 70, and 80, when this Style of art was a started in underground way.

Robert Mapplethorpe today is a gay icon, but in this times (old times) He was a revolutionary and transgressor, this spirit is impregnated in other images, where he worked with the erotic symbols, like bondage objects, or parts of the body, especially penis, flacid or erect, or also other symbols like human erotic exmaple: sex-simbols Black men, the same as Warhol who was specially attracted to italian men.

This artist, not only works the sexual topic, he is interested in the sensuality and he shows in his choice of color black and white, and the sensibility of the grayescale or other objects like flowers.

I love this photography because I think it mixes both topics; the erotic and the delicate feeling.
