Event details: Ways of Seeing: The Photography of Ishimoto Yasuhiro
Description
Ways of Seeing celebrates the major gift to the MFAH by Japanese artist Ishimoto Yasuhiro of nearly 300 of his photographs. Trained by Harry Callahan at the "New Bauhaus" in Chicago, Ishimoto (born 1921) is widely acknowledged as the most influential Japanese photographer of his generation in the development of postwar Japanese photography. Ishimoto has donated to the museum 289 black-and-white photographs dating from 1949 to 2005. Through a selection of 67 images, this exhibition reveals the artist´s virtuosity of form and composition over five decades. The presentation is coordinated by Yasufumi Nakamori, Assistant Curator of Photography at the MFAH.
