MASAHISA FUKASE 1961-1991 Retrospective Photo Book Hard Cover English/Japanese

Description: ◉ MASAHISA FUKASE 1961-1991 Retrospective Photo Book Hard Cover English/Japanese This retrospective traces the path of Fukase Masahisa, who was active from the 1960s to the early 1990s, and touches on his unique world. With a perspective that looked deeply into his own private life, Fukase Masahisa carved out a unique position in the history of Japanese photography in the 1960s. It was also an act of seeking the origins of photography, which later came to be called "personal photography" and developed as one of the main forms of expression that photographers turned to. Fukase turned his camera to people close to him, such as his wife and family, and while exposing his private life, he became aware of the madness lurking inside himself. This madness, which is a mixture of a loving gaze towards the subject and a humorous lightness, makes Fukase's work special and unique. This book contains a comprehensive collection of his works, including his representative works "Play," "Yoko," "Crow," "Sasuke," "Family," and "Bukubuku," in a handy format.This retrospective follows the path of Masahisa Fukase, who was active from the 1960s to the early 1990s, and touches on his unique world. "I never think that I can capture a subject by photographing it. What's important to me is how much I can get into it. How much I can reflect myself. I want the act of looking through the viewfinder to be something that is fleshed out. I can't help but feel that photography can be used more freely. I think I can engage with it in a way that encompasses my entire existence." (Masahisa Fukase, 1969) [Masahisa Fukase]Born in Bifuka-cho, Nakagawa-gun, Hokkaido in 1934. Graduated from the Department of Photography, College of Art, Nihon University. After working at Nippon Design Center and Kawade Shobo Shinsha, he became independent in 1968. Starting with his participation in the historic exhibition of Japanese photography, "New Japanese Photography," held at MoMA in the United States in 1974, he has since exhibited at numerous exhibitions around the world. In 1992, he suffered brain damage in an accident, and after 20 years of battling the disease, he passed away in 2012 at the age of 78. His representative work, "Raven," is highly regarded worldwide as a monumental work in Japanese photography. Thanks to the efforts of the Masahisa Fukase Archives, which was established after his death, the first major retrospective of his work, "l'incurable _go_ste," was held at the Arles International Photography Festival in France in 2017. In 2018, his first retrospective in Japan, "Play," was held at KYOTOGRAPHIE in Kyoto. In the same year, his first museum retrospective, "Private Scenes," was held at Foam in the Netherlands. To coincide with these events, a photobook of the works that Fukase created throughout his life, "Masahisa Fukase," was published (Japanese version by Akaaka Art Publishing, English and French versions by Editions Xavier Barral). Since then, numerous collections of his work have been published, including “Kill the Pig” (Ibasho & the (M) _ditions 2021), “Sasuke” (Editions Xavier Barral, Akaaka Art Publishing 2021), and “Family” (Mack 2019).
