L. Parker Stephenson Photographs is pleased to present a group exhibition of vintage work by Japanese artists spanning 70 years. Some of these photographers sought to break with classical precedents in method and style, expanding the boundaries of the medium in new and unforeseen ways, while others found or created subject matter to present in unexpected ways. Using collage, cliché-verre, solarization, double exposure, skewed angles and cropping, the mundane becomes otherworldly echoing the speed of change and embrace of the unfamiliar in the 20th century.
Artists include Ei-Q, Osamu Shihara, Iwao Yamawaki, Ogawa Gesshu, Toshiko Okanoue, Yasuhiro Ishimoto, Kikuji Kawada, Issei Suda, Shoji Ueda.
