          Robert Mapplethorpe was an anomaly. A sometimes mediocre photographer with a keen eye for disrupting scenes through being a punk, sometimes shaking things up in ways that nobody else had done before him.

          He seems also to have been a parasite, a racist, a nice guy, brutal and a relentless self-serving publicity-machine.

          So, what draws people to Mapplethorpe?

          Is it because of his images of people, especially the sexually toned ones?

          Those parts on her early life with the photographer Robert Mapplethorpe, before either of them were well-known, are incredibly moving.

          His near-marriage with Patti Smith while living with her for seven years? Anything else? Probably the sex-related pictures, and the American trials for obscenity charges that followed after Mapplethorpe's death due to AIDS in 1989.

          Mapplethorpe was a shining example of "niceness" until he left the military academy where his parents had sent him to become "a man".

          "Robert was a little too intense and conservative for me.

          He was almost the stereotypic 'good boy.' "
          -Nancy Nemeth, ROTC Military Ball Queen, 1964
