The Yokohama Museum of Art
is proud to present The photographic worksof Kishin Shinoyama "Picture power" from
Wednesday, January 4 to Tuesday, February
28, 2017.
The photographer Shinoyama
Kishin’s career spans over five decades.
This exhibition, made up of approximately
120 of Shinoyama’s photographs, whichwere selected by the artist from hisenormous body of work and printed on large
panels, was specifically designed for themuseum space.
John Lennon, Yoko Ono

1980

As suggested by Shinoyama’s comment that “my theme is people that everybody knows,”
portraits of famous people lie at the heart of the photographer’s practice. The luminous appearance of actors,singers, athletes, writers, artists, musicians, dancers, kabuki performers, and models are conveyed tocontemporary viewers through Shinoyama’s photographs in magazines, photo books, and other media. Itwould be no exaggeration to say that because these works have been so widely circulated, they are seen as
defining images of the era by viewers of all generations. Rather than pictures that are the size of a handheld
book, these photographs, measuring in the meters, promise to evoke vivid memories and transform theexhibition space into a venue for reunions and new encounters.
