Kikuji Kawada

Kikuji Kawada
Nude Theater, 1984
1968

19 7/8 x 15 15/16 in. (50.5 x 40.5 cm)

Black leather portfolio containing 10 large silver gelatin photographs taken in 1981 on the artist’s trip through Europe, each one signed on the back. Kawada, known for his legendary book, "Chizu (The Map)", departs from his Provoke movement roots and photographs nude women in Old Master paintings. During this time Daido Moriyama and Keizo Kitajima were exhibiting their post-Provoke imagery using street photography and graphic imagery. Some 10+ years later Hiroshi Sugimoto took portraits of people in Old Master and Renaissance paintings, which may have been influenced by this project by Kawada.
