Though its format is modest, close to pocket size, it concentrates Yasui's varied output, from the lyricism of Pictorialism to the experiments of the New Photography, Surrealist composition, and a gaze cast toward drifters and townspeople, the work of a man who raced through a brief youth. As the subtitle 'A Genius Who Raced Through Modernism' suggests, it throws light on Yasui's precocious gift, excelling in every idiom while voraciously absorbing the avant-garde of interwar modernism. In an era when substantial large-format catalogues were still few, it did much to carry Yasui's name to a wide readership, and its compactness still makes it easy to recommend as a first step toward him. A fine book, combining approachability with real substance.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Shinchosha","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":53691685634337,"sku":null,"price":40.95,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0758\/0218\/1921\/files\/1_66a9a8ce-7ce9-4f27-b681-a2cbc3dd2eba.jpg?v=1791443925","url":"https:\/\/btob.bookandsons.com\/products\/nakaji-yasui-a-genius-who-raced-through-modernism","provider":"BOOK AND SONS","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
