Yamamoto Kansuke Stephen Wirtz Gallery San Francisco is a collection of works by Japanese photographer and poet Kansuke Yamamoto (1914-1987). He was one of Japan's leading surrealists, active since before the war. His father, along with Chotaro Hidaka and others, founded the Aiyu Photography Club as a base for artistic photography during the popular era of Pictorialism. He is said to have already started writing poetry at the age of 15, and after dropping out of university and returning to Nagoya, he formed the Nagoya Photo Avant-Garde with Shimogo Yosoo, Sakata Minoru, and Yamanaka Chiruo, known for Mesem-genus Surrealist Photography Collection. He also actively published his work in the fanzine VOU by multi-artist Kitazono Katsue. After the war, in addition to VOU, he published photographs and poems in numerous photography and art magazines, designed collections for Keiichiro Goto and others, and also mentored the next generation of photographers as an advisor to the Student Photography Federation. This book is a collection of works published at the time of the exhibition held at Stephen Wirtz Gallery in San Francisco in 2006. Although it contains only 13 images, it is a collection of beautiful images that has been selected to create a dignified collection of works.
