Description from the seller
Werner Bischof. Courtyard of the Meiji Shrine. Tokio, Japan, 1951.
Pictured here, courtyard of the Meji shrine in the snow. Photographer Martin Parr said of this image: “It’s one of those images that enters our subconscious and just stays there.”
'Copyright Werner Bischof / Magnum Photos' on the back of the image. Total dimensions: 35,3 x 27,4 cm on semi-gloss paper. Fine condition. Printed Lated, 2000's.
Werner Bischof was given the assignment of photographing the war in Korea in 1951. The job took him through Japan, a country that won his heart. Bischof stayed in Japan for almost a year, discovering the country’s beauty and purity of design and ritual that must have reminded him of his early studio days.
His time in Japan undoubtedly marks a high point in Bischof’s oeuvre. The subject matter and the photographer’s sensitive, considered approach complement each other perfectly.
One of the most influential photographers of the 20th century along with other photographers of his time such as: Man Ray, Ansel Adams, Henri Cartier-Bresson, Robert Capa, Margaret Bourke-White, Philippe Halsman, Diane Arbus, Eve Arnold, Robert Doisneau, Robert Mapplethorpe, Richard Avedon, Annie Leibovitz, Steve McCurry, among many others.
