Synopsis
This is the first monograph to present the Bauhaus-era photography of Iwao Yamawaki. Furthering the studies he began in Tokyo, Yamawaki enrolled at the Bauhaus in 1930 as an architecture student, but soon shifted his focus to photography. Heavily influenced by the work of Laszlo Moholy-Nagy and Walter Peterhans, Yamawaki developed an experimental approach that is evident in his captivating still-lifes, photomontages, portraits, and architectural photographs. Edited by Karl Lagerfeld and with an introduction by Ingrid Sischy, this book establishes Yamawaki as a key figure in the intersection of modern design and Japanese photography.
