Presents "Daido Moriyama: Vintage Prints". An extraordinary range of Moriyama's work. The vintage prints come from Moriyama's personal collection, and represent his oeuvre from three tumultuous decades: The 1960's, 1970's, and 1980's. They show how Moriyama started out and also how he became one of the great visual artists of our time. Moriyama's life-work has been to make us keenly aware of the photograph as the product of a mechanical instrument (the camera) and of the person behind the camera (the photographer) as the witness to the constant flow and throbbing intensity of the world. While the photograph shows reality as ever-changing, a painting makes it seem static, immutable, essential. A photograph is a fragment, not a record. "Taking a photograph does not mean to cut off a piece of time and place and save it as a record, but to remove color, palpability, smell, and sound from a time and place, and transpose the remnants into a distribution of varying densities of equivalent light and shadow. To take a photograph is to fragment the comprehensive sensory data" (Daido Moriyama). For many intelligent people, this is precisely the weakness of and problem with photography, that it reduces reality to our sense of sight. For Moriyama, it is the medium's inherent and unavoidable nature and therefore its strength, the starting point of all photography, whatever the individual photographer's talent or intentions may be. Flow, intensity, and fragments that build up to a cumulative and ecstatic visual experience: This is Moriyama's highly influential conception of photography. An original Daido Moriyama book is an event. This one is a sensation. An absolute "must-have" title for Daido Moriyama collectors. This title is a great photography collection.
