【Product details】
Immerse yourself in the intimate and raw beauty of Go Mishima's portrayal of youth with this exquisite lithograph from his renowned series, "Book of Pictures of Young Men". Capturing the relaxed pose of a finely tanned young man lying back in a state of undress, the artwork exudes a sense of vulnerability and sensuality. Mishima's masterful shading brings to life the contours and muscles of the young man's body, while the crisp white sheet accentuates his nakedness and the warmth of his skin.
Mishima Go's legacy as a pivotal figure in the Showa period's gay erotic art is etched into this work, showcasing his commitment to exploring the solitude and subtle melancholy of the human experience. His depictions go beyond mere form; they narrate stories of the marginalized, resonating deeply with the origins of Japanese gay culture. His works express the loneliness and melancholy of individuals and minorities. His art continues to captivate and inspire, as seen in the recent Cali Dewitt x Go Mishima "POETRY READING" exhibition in Tokyo.
The lithograph has some signs of age, with some stains present, which are documented in the accompanying photographs.
Dimensions: approx. H 41. 8 cm W 29. 5 cm
