Eikoh Hosoe: Curated Body 1959-1970
Sep 12 – Oct 19, 2013
From September 12 to October 19, 2013, Miyako Yoshinaga Gallery is delighted to present:
“Eikoh Hosoe: Curated Body 1959-1970,” featuring 34 vintage prints by the master Japanese photographer, Eikoh Hosoe. This exhibition is organized in association with Howard Greenberg Gallery, New York. An opening reception will be held Thursday, September 12, 6-8pm.
Eikoh Hosoe (b. 1933) is widely acknowledged to be a pioneer of expressionistic post-WWII Japanese photography. Throughout an oeuvre spanning over fifty years, Hosoe has explored the human body’s physicality as a subject that reveals a shifting interior landscape of dreams and desires. The exhibition focuses on black-and-white photographs from Hosoe’s two seminal series Man and Woman (1959-1960) and Embrace (1969-1970). Produced ten years apart, these two series bookend a prolific decade of artistic production, solidifying Hosoe’s bold and dramatic aesthetics into a clear statement against the “objective” realism which was then the dominant photographic convention in Japan.
