About the Item

DAIDO MORIYAMA (*1938, Japan) "How to Create a Beautiful Picture 6: Tights in Shimotakaido" 1987(2021 Silver gelatin print, printed later Sheet 60 x 50.8 cm (23 5/8 x 20 in.) not part of an edition Print only 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, Body, Nude, Woman, Erotic, Tights
