Yasuzo Nojima (1889-1964) is one of the most important figures in the history of modern Japanese photography. His work ranges form 1920s pictorialism to modern Bauhaus influenced photography in the 1930s, ending with a gaze intentionally removed form reality during the years of the second World War. Nojima was first and foremost a great interpreter of light and of the endless gradations produced by lines and shadows of faces and skin of the figures portrayed. Most importantly, Nojima was an interpreter of souls: a pure and extremely discrete artist who made his subjects immortal by bestowing nobleness upon them — a nobleness as austere as it is intimate, and thus, possibly for this very reason, of a sort that escapes the ravages of time and of people's gazes.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eNojima was also known as an enthusiastic art lover, opening a gallery in Tokyo at his own expense, holding exhibitions of works by up-and-coming artists. This catalogue is composed of works from the Nojima Collection at Museum of Modern Art of Kyoto. Edited and with an essay by Filippo Maggia. Text throughout is in English and Italian.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eCondition: As New \/ Fine\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Bendowa Books","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":46913911652526,"sku":null,"price":45.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0696\/0149\/3166\/files\/Yasuzo-Nojima-1.jpg?v=1757981050","url":"https:\/\/bendowabooks.com\/products\/yasuzo-nojima","provider":"Bendowa Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
