Mapplethorpe 2012 Calendar. This calendar features the popular work of US photographer Robert Mapplethorpe. He is largely known for his large-scale, highly stylized black and white portraits, photos of flowers and naked men. The frank, homosexual eroticism of some of the work of his middle period triggered a more general controversy about the public funding of artworks. This Mapplethorpe 2012 Calendar features his popular work with flowers and will make an excellent gift for Robert Mapplethorpe fans!
