HOSOE, Eikoh. Eikoh Hosoe: Meta.

Contains many of Hosoe’s best-known images, including photographs from his landmark books Killed by Roses, Man and Woman, Embrace and others, with reminiscences and explanations by Hosoe. With a chronology of Hosoe???s career, an exhibition history and selected bibliography.

As a young Japanese photographer in the 1960s, Eikoh Hosoe produced a powerful and iconoclastic body of work which shocked Japanese audiences and earned him international attention. This exhibition catalog presents chapters that reveal the develop of Hosoe s art from those early days through several more recent, equally powerful photographic series. His works provide Western audiences with a sense of the trials that an individual in what traditionally has been an inward-looking culture must endure as his or her society moves into a broader world role. . . . –Graham Howe.
