It's great that Robert (R.I.P.) and Edward have contributed to "modern photography and modern art"...with a God-given talent, which not everybody in this world can claim to have...It's just "innate." 📷
I really want historians to talk more of Roberts darker side. Reading his biography and other pieces I could find really showed me what a kind of terrible person he was. The work of course is beautiful but history is history.
Ive been trying to find confirmation of his involvement with the Satanic Underground of NY. People have claimed that he admitted to being a hardcore Satanist but I havent been able to find said interviews
Not alive, but a dead artist is always like a gold mine. Just look at some examples from the last years who suddenly are "amazing photographers" but really are just some campaigns to sell you another photobook. Great photographers get noticed one way or another, Robert had genuine talent and showed things that needed to be seen. He's an amazing artist. Edward is cute, but no artist.
Robert's work is better and more visceral than this stuff. Edward's work is good but his brother is a legend who explored human sexuality through the lens of a camera.
