There is a stream of thinking in the West that of the present oratorio, Triptych (Eyes of One associates “the beautiful” with, as Kant calls it, on Another). But still the question lingers: How a “disinterested pleasure.” “Interested” pleasures do we as contemporary viewers acknowledge like pornography and propaganda were contrasted and embrace all of the ways, all of the vantage with more noble pursuits, for example, the nude points, from which we can see this work? or classical dramas.

THE PERFECT MOMENT for Robert Mapplethorpe

Aesthetics can justify desire, but desire in turn can provoke punishment. Under public scrutiny the eyes of one man are focused on another. Is it desire, equality, disgust, or hatred? Is the quality of loneliness present or overlooked? Is it diminished by the breaking of taboos? Is the passion mutual or is one wary of the other? Does fear haunt the edges of the photographs? Does it blaze inside the cornea or lurk like men in shadows posed for the perfect moment Essex Hemphill to snap or strike or sigh?
