"Photograph" is a collection of works by Japanese contemporary artist Jiro Takamatsu (1936-1998). In 1954, he studied painting under Ryohei Koiso at Tokyo University of the Arts. Since the 1960s, he has been developing avant-garde activities by establishing the art group Hi-Red Center with Genpei Akasegawa and Natsuyuki Nakanishi. Takamatsu, who creates installations in a variety of styles, including not only painting but also sculpture, photography, and film, was a pioneer of conceptual art in the 1960s and 1970s. This is the "Photo of Photo" series released in the early 70's. The images captured are personal records, such as family photographs, but by copying copies of copies, they become anonymized works. ”. This kind of irony-rich expression is one aspect of Takamatsu, and like Hockney's collage, it was one of the new photographic expressions from an artist's point of view, and it was very new.
