Críticas:

"A beautiful book with beautiful images and informative, accessible essays. . . . Highly recommended as both a valuable resource on the history of Japanese photography and the development of photographic movements in the decades preceding and following the Second World War."--Photo-Eye Blog "[This volume] celebrates two forerunning Japanese image makers."--American Photo Magazine "An exciting presentation of work from two significant Japanese photographers." --Good Reading Copy, May 2013 "Interesting work by artists rarely seen on this side of the Pacific."--Library Journal "Long after the original motives for Hamaya's most famous work are forgotten, we will still have these marvelous images as evidence not so much of a unique Japanese spirit as of a humane and wonderful artist."--Ian Buruma, New York Review of Books Winner of the 2013 Photo Book of the Year: Fine Art from American Photo.

Reseña del editor:

This title offers a superbly illustrated overview of the evolution of two very different strains of modern Japanese photography. In the 1930s, Japanese photography evolved in two very directions: one toward a documentary style, the other favouring an experimental, or avant-garde, approach strongly influence by Western Surrealism. This book explores these two divergent paths through the work of two remarkable figures: Hiroshi Hamaya and Kansuke Yamamoto. Hiroshi Hamaya (1915-1999) was born and raised in Tokyo and, after an initial period of creative experimentation, turned his attention to recording traditional life and culture. He went on to record cultural changes in China, political protests in Japan, and landscapes around the world. Kansuke Yamamoto (1914-1987) became fascinated by the innovative approaches in art and literature exemplified by Western artists such as Man Ray and Magritte. He promoted Surrealist and avant-garde ideas in Japan through his poetry, paintings, sculptures, and photography.
