Hosoe, Eikoh (1933 - Present)

Eikoh Hosoe was born in Yonezawa (northern Honshu) in 1933. He graduated from Tokyo College of Photography in 1954 and became a freelance photographer. In 1959, Hosoe was one of the founders of the photographers' group VIVO, a cooperative agency that shared a darkroom and distributed members' work. His first book was Otoko to Onna - Man and Woman (1961), but it was the following project, with the great Japanese writer Yukio Mishima, Barakei - Killed by Roses (1963) (later re-titled Ordeal by Roses), that achieved worldwide fame. He formed a close friendship with Butoh dancer Tatsumi Hijikata, culminating in the work Kamaitachi (1969). Hosoe has been honored with many awards, including the New Artist Award from the Japan Photo Critics Association (1960) and Photographer of the Year Award from the same association (1963). In 1975, he returned to his alma mater as professor of photography at the Tokyo Institute of Polytechnics and is currently director of the Kiyosato Museum of Photographic Art.

Modern Art | Modern Japanese Prints and Paintings

The 20th century saw the emergence of two modern Japanese print movements: Shin Hanga, or “new prints,” and Sosaku Hanga, or “creative prints.” Both sought an identity somewhere between centuries of rich cultural tradition and modern global character. With growing realism, changing techniques, and a newfound international audience, the Shin Hanga movement portrayed familiar Japanese themes through modern eyes. From sensual beauties and expressive actors, to atmospheric landscapes and sensitive nature studies, the principal genres of ukiyo-e reasserted themselves with renewed vigor. The Sosaku Hanga movement emphasized the participation of the artist in every aspect of production. From carving to printing, modern Japanese printmaking adopted a more spontaneous, expressive attitude through the artistic explorations of this movement. Ranging from figural to abstract, Sosaku Hanga flourished after WWII. Explore Ronin Gallery's selection of modern prints and paintings below.
