Born on November 4, 1946, Robert Mapplethorpe was an American photographer known for his black and white photography of celebrity portraits, male and female nudes, still-life images of flowers, and self portraits.
One of Mapplethorpe's photography series spurred controversy. The Perfect Moment, a traveling exhibition funded by the National Endowment for the Arts--public funds--featured many sexually explicit images.
Mapplethorpe established the Robert Mapplethorpe Foundation, which not only secures his work, but promotes his creative vision and funds HIV/AIDS research. He passed away due to complications from HIV/AIDS on March 9, 1989.
When I drop my kids off at school I always tell them, “Just remember I NEVER have to go to school AGAIN. See ya in 8 hrs I’m going to nap.” pic.twitter.com/6aAH9FXvF3
New Coke, a massive earthquake in Mexico City, Michael Jordan, Back to the Future, Cocoon, Live Aid, Madonna, David Lee Roth, and Bruce Springsteen are few things that pop into mind when I think of 1985.
The two most memorable music videos for me were ah-ha's Take On Me and Dire Straits' Money For Nothing. The former featured rotoscoping mixed with live action, while the latter featured early computer animation.
