It's quite easy to observe that the majority, not all, but the majority of images in these galleries are more hormonially driven than artistically driven. The fact of the matter is, it's still a form of expression, though a rather personal and perhaps, tasteless form of expression. Photographs from the galleries of Mapelthorpe always made me a bit uncomfortable.. well.. actually.. a lot uncomfortable. But, maybe that was what the artist was going for as well... to make the viewer get an "in your face" type of feeling. Hmmm... just random thoughts on the subject. I guess hormonally driven and artistically driven is what seperates the true artists from the wannabe's?
