During her hiatus in the late '80s/early 90's, she and her husband, Fred "Sonic" Smith planned to return to music together. Tragically, Fred passed away from a heart attack in late '94.

@pumiquxt What wrong with tits? 🤔

Besides, to be fair to him, Avendon photographed more than just tits.

See: https://www.avedonfoundation.org/the-work

And a simple google search of his images will also prove that his photographs were about far more than just tits:

https://duckduckgo.com/?q=avedon+photography&atb=v393-1&ia=images&iax=images

What few photos of his exposes a tit or 2 pales in comparison with the work of other photographers like #RobertMapplethorpe, #HerbRitts & #RoyStuart who revealed more than just tits, who also happened to be great portrait, live shot & still life photographers as well. 🤷‍♂️

Just took an hour to go through the book of work by #RobertMapplethorpe I bought.

#Art and #photography are what will get me through the worst that humanity could possibly throw at me in the next days, months, and years. If #Mapplethorpe could create #queer art at the same time as Anita Bryant haunted this Earth, then so can I/we. Now to seek out muses and showcase our beauty. Make art, build community, survive, live.

Love y’all.

Blank Generation: Downtown New York 1970s–80s
Michael Lowe Gallery with Alternate Projects
Extended hours Friday, November 1 and Saturday November 2, noon to 4pm.
Michael Lowe Gallery
905 Vine St.
Cincinnati, OH

Blank Generation presents a panoramic visual survey of the tectonically shifting arts culture of the 1970s–80s in downtown New York City, and the raw and dynamic new ideas in music, film, art, literature, graffiti, fashion, queer culture, and performance that it spawned. The bleak and bankrupt NYC of Travis Bickle and Ratso Rizzo felt like a city teetering on the verge of collapse, but in the dive bars, abandoned buildings, and squats of the grimiest neighborhoods, a cultural renaissance was taking place.
The iconoclastic writers, musicians, scenesters, performers, outsiders, and other creators whose life and work energized this underground world had a profound and continuing impact on mainstream global culture. The exhibition features photography, film, and photo-based work by influential artists living and creating in that petri dish of inspiration, as well as documentary photography and ephemeral material including posters, fliers, and publications.
The diverse New York underground community was populated by people who needed to create—for whom ideas, authenticity, and innovation were far more important than aesthetics or commercial success. Hence the works in Blank Generation are layered, delving into significant and often uncomfortable social issues, new ways of communication, and cultural touchpoints. In many cases, the image is not the end game, but rather a means to visually communicate an often-complex underlying story or idea.
In conjunction with Blank Generation, Alternate Projects presents a pop-up shop featuring a curated selection of rare artist publications, ephemera, artwork, and photographs.
Artists: Charlie Ahearn, Roberta Bayley, Jimmy DeSana, Darrel Ellis, Barbara Ess, Allen Frame, Godlis, Nan Goldin, Bob Gruen, Richard Hambleton, Keith Haring, Peter Hujar, Richard Kern, Marcus Leatherdale, Judy Linn, Robert Mapplethorpe, Ari Marcopoulos, Gordon Matta-Clark, Peter Moore, Mark Morrisroe, Jamie Nares, Franc Palaia, Steven Parrino, Jack Pierson, Ricky Powell, Mick Rock, Tabboo!, Gail Thacker, Alan Vega, John Waters, David Wojnarowicz, Russell Young
Curator: George Kurz, Independent Curator; and Michael Lowe, Founder of Michael Lowe Gallery

Robert Mapplethorpe (New York, 1946 – Boston, 1989) è stato un fotografo statunitense, noto per i suoi scatti in bianco e nero di fiori, nudi, ritratti e scene erotiche. La sua opera ha esplorato la sessualità, la bellezza e la morte in modo provocatorio e spesso controverso ...

(forgot the image again, sorry!) For the AI #ArtHistory History and #Archaeology Mashup project, I've long sought a suitable match of an artist to the #Venus of Willendorf, the most famous of ancient clay and stone figurines of pulchritudinous women with no faces and heads seemingly covered with netting or missing entirely. Eventually, I found three that offer well, perhaps not enlightenment, but thought-provoking takes on the 30,000 year old figurine. First up is the American artist #RobertMapplethorpe (1946-1989)
