Description
Daido Moriyama is one of the defining photographers of postwar Japan. He trained in graphic design before learning photography under Takeji Iwayama and assisting Eikoh Hosoe before becoming a prominent street photographer known for his rejection of technical precision to prefer a black and white “are, bure, bokeh (grainy/rough, blurry, out of focus)" style. Although not limited to figurative work, he often captures people in the midst of urban life, commenting that “the city has everything: comedy, tragedy, eulogy, eroticism." His high contrast and often slanted photographs examine the balance between tradition and modernization in postwar Japan.
Presentation
Daido Moriyama has a self-proclaimed addiction to cities. At age 73, his work still shares the same inclination to record his surroundings as his earliest pictures, taken during the dramatic transformation of 1960s post-war Japan. Moriyama used his camera to document the American military occupation of his country and the dissolution of traditional values experienced alongside accelerated modernization. In a process he maintains today, Moriyama shot with a small hand-held automatic camera, rarely with attention to the viewfinder. In his depictions of city life, Moriyama documents cultural change and chaotic urban experience, typically in grainy, black-and-white, high-contrast images, which he prints himself. Early influences include photographers Eikoh Hosoe, Eugène Atget, Weegee, and William Klein, all who shared a similar affection for the dynamics of city life.
