This book is a collection of catalog works published at the exhibition "Japan Modern Divide | The Photographs of Hiroshi Hamaya and Kansuke Yamamoto" held at the Getty Museum in Los Angeles in 2013. Japanese photographs from the 1930s before the war have "journalism" and "documentary" styles such as Ken Domon and Ihei Kimura, and Western surrealism represented by Nakaji Yasui, who was also admired by Daido Moriyama and others. It is roughly divided into two styles, "Avant-garde", which was influenced by Surrealism, and both of them are the cornerstones of current Japanese photography. This exhibition focuses on Hiroshi Hamaya, who focused on the documentary and avant-garde creations, and Kansuke Yamamoto, a surrealist who also worked as a poet, and introduces their works and their tracks.
