{"product_id":"shomei-tomatsu-fundacion-mapfre-2018","title":"Shomei Tomatsu — Fundación MAPFRE, 2018","description":"\u003cp data-start=\"108\" data-end=\"543\"\u003eThis is the major European monograph on Shomei Tomatsu, one of the most uncompromising and poetic photographers of postwar Japan. Published by Fundación MAPFRE in Madrid in 2018, the book accompanied a landmark retrospective and gathers an expansive selection of Tomatsu’s images—from his searing early work documenting U.S. military presence and atomic trauma, to surreal, symbolic studies of Okinawa, Nagasaki, and Tokyo street life.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-start=\"545\" data-end=\"997\"\u003eDesigned with clarity and depth, the book moves through key series such as \u003cem data-start=\"620\" data-end=\"647\"\u003eChewing Gum and Chocolate\u003c\/em\u003e, \u003cem data-start=\"649\" data-end=\"661\"\u003eOccupation\u003c\/em\u003e, \u003cem data-start=\"663\" data-end=\"679\"\u003eNagasaki 11:02\u003c\/em\u003e, and \u003cem data-start=\"685\" data-end=\"699\"\u003eOh! Shinjuku\u003c\/em\u003e. What emerges is a portrait of a restless image-maker who turned away from classical reportage toward a visual language of metaphor, texture, and rupture. Tomatsu’s photography is both documentary and dreamlike—shell fragments, scarred skin, broken watches, cigarettes, soldiers, schoolgirls, sea.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-start=\"999\" data-end=\"1406\"\u003eIn contrast to contemporaries like Araki or Moriyama, Tomatsu carried a quieter, more political urgency, making his work essential to any understanding of postwar Japanese identity. The Fundación MAPFRE edition brings this legacy into sharp focus for new audiences, with generous reproductions and rare material. It belongs in the Darwin archive as a cornerstone—elegant, radical, and historically exacting.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-start=\"1408\" data-end=\"1764\"\u003eTechnical Sheet\u003cbr data-start=\"1423\" data-end=\"1426\"\u003eTitle: Shomei Tomatsu\u003cbr data-start=\"1447\" data-end=\"1450\"\u003eArtist \/ Author: Shomei Tomatsu\u003cbr data-start=\"1481\" data-end=\"1484\"\u003eDate: 2018\u003cbr data-start=\"1494\" data-end=\"1497\"\u003eTechnique \/ Printing Method: Offset\u003cbr data-start=\"1532\" data-end=\"1535\"\u003eMedium \/ Materials: Hardcover with cloth spine\u003cbr data-start=\"1581\" data-end=\"1584\"\u003eDimensions (cm): approx. 25 × 30\u003cbr data-start=\"1616\" data-end=\"1619\"\u003eLanguage: Available in Spanish \/ English \/ Catalan\u003cbr data-start=\"1646\" data-end=\"1649\"\u003ePublisher \/ Editor: Fundación MAPFRE, Madrid\u003cbr data-start=\"1713\" data-end=\"1716\"\u003eISBN: 978-84-9844-677-7\u003cbr data-start=\"1739\" data-end=\"1742\"\u003eCondition: New\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"DaRWIN","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":52566613590354,"sku":null,"price":50.0,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0999\/7058\/0818\/files\/TODWEBB_copy_4_1e57161b-0366-4189-9f20-feb95d24050e.jpg?v=1769432375","url":"https:\/\/thedarwin.es\/products\/shomei-tomatsu-fundacion-mapfre-2018","provider":"DaRWIN","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
