MORIYAMA (Daido). Lips! Lips! Lips! Tokyo, Akio Nagasawa, 2018, 4°, stapled, full-page silkscreen illustrated cover. Original edition of 350 numbered copies, signed in pencil by the artist. Daido Moriyama (°1938) is a Japanese photographer. His photographs bear witness to the changing mores of Japan in the second half of the 20th century. Moriyama is best known for his black-and-white, high-contrast, high-grain photographs. His angles of view are original, and he likes to play with shots. But he is also a nude photographer. His first series, dating from 1969, takes an unprecedented approach to the nude: a dozen poorly shot images of a faceless, identity-less woman on a bed, in a natural, unadorned position. Once every two weeks, Playboy magazine (Japanese version) published her photos, alternating with Kishin Shinoyama, a famous figure in commercial photography, who would become known for her nudes. Mint condition.
