About:
'Lady Lisa Lyon' is a striking photobook by renowned photographer Robert Mapplethorpe, dedicated to his collaboration with pioneering bodybuilder and performance artist Lisa Lyon. Lyon, who made history as the first World Women's Bodybuilding Champion in 1979, is captured by Mapplethorpe in a powerful exploration of the human form, challenging traditional gender norms through her artistry. The book showcases Lyon's sculptural physique in various poses and settings, with Mapplethorpe's lens transforming her into both muse and collaborator. Through masterful use of light and shadow, Mapplethorpe creates iconic images that evoke deep emotional resonance, making 'Lady Lisa Lyon' a significant intersection of art, photography, and body politics.
