Imogen Cunningham

IMOGEN CUNNINGHAM [1883-1976] a contribué de manière exceptionnelle aux progrès historiques de la photographie d'art. Surtout connue pour ses admirables gros plans de fleurs (" Blumen for men "), elle voua sa première passion à l'art du portrait, ce qui lui permit de survivre, financièrement, pendant la majeure partie de sa vie. Des années durant, elle a saisi des milliers d'individus, y compris un grand nombre de célébrités, d'écrivains, et d'artistes tels Herbert Hoover, Ansel Adams, Frida Kahlo, Man Ray, Gertrude Stein ou Cary Grant. Elle a également réalisé de grandes avancées dans la photographie de nus. Intelligente et audacieuse, son œuvre a participé à la reconnaissance de la photographie en tant que forme d'art. Imogen Cunningham a toujours su se tenir à l'écart des idées en vogue, avec ses fleurs sensuelles et ses nus " osés ", que lui a valu le respect et l'admiration de ses contemporains, notamment Edward Weston et Ansel Adams.

Ryuichi Kaneko

This book illustrates the development of photography as seen in photo publications in Japan? from the time of influence by European and American pictorialism, the German Bauhaus and Imperial military propaganda, to the complete collapse and destruction of the country in 1945. Then followed a new beginning: with the unique self-determination of a young generation of photographers and visual artists highlighted by the ?Provoke? style as well as protest and war documentation of the late 1950s to the early 1970s, the signature Japanese photobook, as we have come to know it, was born. With detailed information and illustrations of over 400 photo publications, an introduction by Kaneko Ryuichi and essays by Fujimura Satomi, Duncan Forbes, Manfred Heiting, Mitsuda Yuri, Lizawa Kotaro, Shirayama Mari and Matthew S. Witkovsky, this is the first extensive English-language survey of Japanese photobooks of this period.
