About the Item

DAIDO MORIYAMA (*1938, Japan) "How to Create a Beautiful Picture 6: Tights in Shimotakaido" 1987 Silver gelatin print Sheet 25.4 x 30.5 cm (12 x 12 in.) Frame 44 x 50.5 x 3 cm (17 3/8 x 19 7/8 x 1 1/8 in.) Framed Daido Moriyama is of the most revered living Japanese photographers. His work is saturated with the melancholic beauty of life at its most ordinary. His photographs epitomize wabi-sabi, the Japanese aesthetic of finding beauty in imperfection. Moriyama focuses in on the lost and the discarded, and finds echoes of living through the breakdown of traditional values in post-war Japan. Daido Moriyama shot his 'How to Create a Beautiful Picture 6: Tights in Shimotakaido' series in the early 1980s, after carrying out self-conscious visual experiments in 'Farewell to Photography' (1972) and 'Light and Shadow' (1982). The mesh pattern featured in this series is a recurring motif in Moriyama’s works. Underlying Moriyama’s photographs are scenes found while walking through the city that create a sense of déjà-vu and memories of formative scenes, which makes the repeated appearance of certain images unavoidable. The mesh pattern in particular shows Moriyama’s obsession for abstracting images into a highly anonymous aggregate. – Photography, Black and White, Stockings, Fishnet, Close-up
