Daidō Moriyama Japanese
Not on view
At twenty-one Moriyama moved from his native Osaka to Tokyo, where he internalized the graphic, aggressive style of avant-garde Japanese photographers and Andy Warhol's observations of media culture and consumer society. He was also impressed by William Klein's grainy, haphazard photographic style, which is echoed in this night view of traffic, pedestrians, and a wide-eyed young women startled by his flash in the backseat of an American-style car. Made on the run, this blurred, off-kilter image, exemplifies Moriyama's dynamic, predator-like approach to documenting life in postwar Japan.
