Two Men Dancing by Robert Mapplethorpe

Robert Mapplethrope's Two Men Dancing creates a good amount of contrast between figure and ground. The head room is good and the image has a a gracious around of space between the figures and the edge of the photo. The movement is created with the limbs of the men and the lighting creates soft highlights making the texture of the skin realistic. The only shiny things in the piece is the crowns which only accentuate the massage of the image and does not take away from the main focus of the photograph.
