Description from the seller
soul and soul
Kiyoshi Suzuki
Self-Published/1972/japanese/210*233*10/Missing dust jacket
This book is a collection of works published to commemorate the screening of “Yumeji,” one of the so-called Aesthetic Trilogy by film director Seijun Suzuki, following ‘Zigoinelwaizen’ (1980) and “The Sunset” (1981). It is a very unique and fantastic biographical film about the Japanese modernist painter and poet Yumeji Takehisa, and a masterpiece that visualizes the “Yumeji-like world” filled with aesthetics, aestheticism, and visual experimentation typical of Seijun Suzuki, with Kenji Sawada as the lead Yumeji. Yumeji is surrounded by a group of women that includes Miyazaki Manjun, Hirota Reona, and Miyagi Chikako, and the still photographs were taken by Araki Nobuyoshi and Takahashi Kyoji. Yumeji's indulgence in women, the gap between ideal and reality, and his loneliness and obsession as an artist are expressed with picturesque visual beauty, with Araki expressing “sensuality,” “passion,” and “intuition” and Takahashi ‘tranquility’ and "poetic sentiment. This is a very valuable and unique book with a wealth of off-shot images.
