Someone once wrote that the flowers are a gift that nature does, a luxury for our enjoyment, as it is practically the only element of the natural realm not is of no use. Its beauty and fragrance are there only for us to enjoy them. And it seems that neither the artists, most heinous, abstract or seizure may be, can escape its charm.
In the retrospective that was seen until a few days in the Malba devoted to the work of Robert Mapplethorpe, intruding between sadomasochistic scenes, sculptures and portraits of stars of the music and art, there was a lot of pictures that dealt in around the flower theme, portraying delicate tulips, orchids stunning colors angry or shy coves.
At first glance, the high contrast can hardly fail to call attention to the subtlety of a fine image in front of the border obscenity that touch others. Although the sexual allusion and eroticism of the flowers makes the distance between each other not as abysmal as you might expect. However
time ago someone had been more radical than him, because despite the apparent contrast between these pictures had much in common, such as Mapplethorpe himself said: "My approach to photographing a flower is not very different from that application for a cock. Basically the same thing: a question of lighting and composition . " But he was not the same thing and these performances were a completely different approach was for one of the kings of abstract art modern and early twentieth century: Piet Mondrian. Who would suspect that the author of the famous grid of black lines and rectangles of primary colors was able to perform simultaneously an abundant number of paintings with flowers as protagonists? Floral figure went beyond his paintings and there were plenty artificial flowers decorating your study. To the surprise of a journalist, Mondrian confessed that the flower represented the woman who was missing in his life, devoted entirely to art.
The apparent vulgarity of a reason to still lifes populated for centuries and centuries did not seem to match the modern super that he hoped to achieve with its most widespread and abstract paintings, but apparently this was not a problem nor a contradiction for him, nor was to Mapplethorpe.
Interest marking the career of an artist can be many, varied and go mutate over time, but you never know. Just in case anyone saying this will not drink water.
