Eikoh Hosoe is a Japanese photographer and filmmaker whom I met in 1979 during my visit to Tokyo to arrange for the photographs to be included in the 20 year retrospective exhibition that Susan Spiritus Gallery was planning for the following year.
At that time Mr. Hosoe's photographic work was already quite broad and included a wide cross section of images of the male and female bodies, from the series Man & Woman,1960; Embrace, 1971; Kamatachi, 1968, Ordeal By Roses, 1963, Gaudi, 1977; Simon, A Private Landscape, 1977, and a selection of images from workshops that he conducted in the 1970's in Yosemite, Arles, Carmel and Camargue.
This newsletter will draw works from these series to show you the expanse of his work.
