Daido Moriyama (Japanese, b. 1938) Stray Dog, Misawa
Daido Moriyama (Japanese, b. 1938)
Stray Dog, Misawa, 1971, printed c. 2002. Signed in Japanese characters and signed "Daido" in pencil on the verso l.r. Gelatin silver print, image size 11 5/8 x 16 1/8 in. (29.5 x 41.0 cm),framed.
Condition: Scattered handling crimps, two small losses to the right of the dog's head.
N.B. A major figure in the history of postwar Japanese photography, Daido Moriyama's deliberately grainy and technically imperfect images reflect both a fascination with and ambiguity towards American attitudes and ideals and their influence on Japan's social and cultural fabric in the years following World War II. He took this photograph, which he has described as a kind of self-portrait, in 1971 in Misawa, which is home to a large U.S. Air Force base in the northeast of Japan.
