Masahisa Fukase: Private Scenes (Toda Masako)(Pevná vazba)

One of the most important Japanese photographers of the lastcentury, Masahisa Fukase was known for exploring themes ofisolation, lonliness, and melancholy and for his transgressive andintimate approach to the medium. This volume includes two ofhis last and arguably most personal series. Private Scenes features photographs taken over the course of theyear 1989 in different locations around the world and in which heis both subject and photographer. He then painted over the printswith colored washes to create an entirely new piece. For this sameseries, he later photographed scenes from daily life, this time inTokyo, changing camera and adding the date on his photographs,but still representing himself in the images. This volume reproduces for the first time in book form all of thephotographs that make up both original series. It charts a turningpoint in Fukase’s work—an artist grappling with his medium andwith a compulsion to share his personal experiences with hisaudience. The photographs are accompanied by a text by MasakoToda, who offers a contextual and historical consideration ofFukase’s oeuvre.
