A collection of photographs by Luigi Ghirri, one of Italy's leading photographers. It is no exaggeration to say that Saul Leiter in the east and Luigi Ghirri in the west are now popular with the two photographers worldwide. The writer's collection of color works "Early Color" has reached eight prints, and "All about Saul Leiter" published at the time of the exhibition in Japan has been repeatedly reprinted. On the other hand, Gilli's "Kodachrome" has also become a standard and has been sold in large numbers. Both are attractive for their subtle beauty, which is reasonably subdued, but don't be afraid to misunderstand that if a writer excels in "painterly" beauty, Gilli is "architectural." It may be said that the attitude and thinking are wonderful. There are many ways to think about materials, colors, shapes, distributions, facial expressions, etc., and there are also excellent storytellings of reality and unreality through photographs. This book is a collection of catalog works published at the exhibition "Works from the 1970s" held at Taka Ishii Gallery in 2017, and contains 29 illustrations. Text by Jun Aoki.
