Photo-based artist HOSOE Eikoh 1933 – 2024 写真作家 細江 英公 1933年 〜 2024年
One of my favourite Japanese photographers, photo artists HOSOE Eiko 細江 英公 passed away on the 16th of this month. The news had been made today, 3 hours ago.
Attached are Hosoe’s homoerotic works of MISHIMA Yukio, called BARAKEI 薔薇刑 (Ordeal by Roses), shown in the permanent collection of The National Museum of Modern Art, Tokyo 東京国立近代美術館 MOMAT.
You may enjoy also my videos, taken at his exhibition on 24th of November 2018.
Highly respected in the global art and photographic world, he was awarded a special medal in commemoration of the 150th anniversary of the founding of the Royal Photographic Society 2003 in London. In 2017, he received the Japanese Order of the Rising Sun, Gold and Silver Star.
Personally, amongst all the artistic photographic works by Eikoh Hosoe, I like his series “Kamaitachi” 鎌鼬 with Butoh dancer HIJIKATA Tatsumi 土方 巽 the most (= above photo with Hosoe & me).
True masterpieces in the history of artistic photography.
Thank you very much for having been able to talking to you on several occasions.
May you rest in peace now.
