"Photograph" is a collection of works by the Japanese contemporary artist Jiro Takamatsu (1936-1998). In 1954, he studied under Ryohei Koiso at the Department of Painting at Tokyo University of the Arts. In the 1960s, he founded the art group "Hi Red Center" with Genpei Akasegawa and Natsuyuki Nakanishi, and began avant-garde activities. Takamatsu, who creates installations in various styles including sculpture, photography, and film, as well as painting, was a pioneer of conceptual art in the 1960s and 1970s. This is the "Photograph of a Photograph" series, which he released in the early 1970s. The images are personal records such as family photos, but by becoming copies of copies, they are inspired into anonymous works, and the images, which skillfully incorporate light and shadow, are sublimated into "art". Such ironic expressions are one of Takamatsu's characteristics, and like Hockney's collages, they are a new form of photographic expression from an artist's perspective, and were very new. With obi.
