Publisher's description

Eikoh Hosoe is one of the big names in Japanese photography. At the age of eighty-three, the influence and the magisterium of this artist, whose work has never ceased to shake up and question the very soul of Japanese culture, are of an intact fruitfulness. Friend of the writer Yukio Mishima and Tatsumi Hijikata (founder of butoh), he embodies the avant-garde of Japanese creation. It is around the representation of the body – and particularly of nudity, a strict taboo of Japanese civilization -, of her sensuality, that her art is concentrated and developed, in a photographic language and a fundamentally innovative style where the grain of the image, its staging, its contrasts, its almost baroque aesthetic impose a vision that in many ways can be seen as revolutionary.
