Yesterday the Supreme Court of Japan decided that photographs of Robert Mapplethorpe's areNOT indecent even the motif is genitals, this decision reversed the previous judgement of Tokyo high court.
Fortunately I have seen the recollection exhibition of his works in 1988, and knew how his photographs are visually beautiful
BECAUSE every works contains some sensual factor.
For example, The Tulips by Mapplethorpe is widely loved by Japanese ordinary people and art lovers. when the Tulip is displayed as a single work of 2 photos of flowers, who can be conscious one of them represents half erected penis or injection curve?
Anyway, the decision has done and we the Japanese can see arts which contains genitals.
For me, I would like non-masked version of "Prospero's Books" by Peter Greenaway in DVD.
