"Chewing Gum and Chocolate (Unopened)" is a collection of works by Shomei Tomatsu, one of the leading Japanese photographers of the 20th century. In 1974, John Szarkowski and Shoji Yamagishi organized the "New Japanese Photography Exhibition," which showcased the works of postwar Japanese photographers. Fifteen photographers were selected, but Tomatsu had the most works exhibited, with 37 plates (the next most prominent was Daido Moriyama with 25). Looking at "Japanese Photography 1968," organized by Japanese photography historian Ryuichi Kaneko, Shomei Tomatsu is clearly the central figure and axis. His style, which combined journalism with a uniquely individual artistic sensibility, is truly one of a kind. This collection focuses on Tomatsu's early work, mainly from the 1960s, and is edited within the worldview of "Americanization," as Tomatsu himself called it. The editor is Leo Rubinfein, an American photographer and renowned editor. Brand new, unopened. German edition.
