Arnold, Steven

When Mapplethorpe was asked what he does with himself when he poses for the camera, he replies that he tries to find that part of himself that is self-confident. CERTAIN PEOPLE are, mostly, people found coaxed, or arranged into a certainty about themselves. This is what seduces, that is what is disclosed in the bulletins of a great photographer's observations and encounters.

History

Lincoln Kirstein's life in the arts spans two-thirds of a century. many of the artists he championed, often against great odds, are indispensable in our consideration of twentieth century art today. In lieu of written memoirs, Lincoln Kirstein has commissioned the great works in his personal collection to be photographed in a remarkable series of eight by ten, four color transparencies. To these he has added extensive captions revolving around anecdotes and aesthetics. It is the perfect way to view his accomplishments. The collection is reproduced in full page, four color plates, each object and room exquisitely photographed.

Wilhelm von Gloeden began photographing the male nude in the early 1890s in Taormina, a hillside town on the northeast coast of Sicily. Following his death in 1931, von Gloeden's collection of over three thousand glass plate negatives was left to his longtime friend and model, Pancrazio Bucini. When Mussolini's fascists entered Taormina in 1936, the negatives were seized and Bucini was accused of 'keeping pornography'. Though Bucini was acquitted, the negatives were not returned until after World War II
