Mapplethorpe and Dureau: Photographs

The Arthur Roger Gallery is honored to be hosting the first joint exhibition of Robert Mapplethorpe and George Dureau. Mapplethorpe and Dureau were introduced in New Orleans in the 1970s by prominent local collector, Dr. Russell Albright. The two artists became friends, endeared by their mutual interests, and their friendship informed their artistic ideals and emboldened their individual contributions. The influence that each artist had on the other is beautifully apparent in this exhibition of almost forty 20×16 inch, black and white photographs. The images feature male nudes, mostly African American, and were taken between the late 70s and early 90s.
