Kishin Shinoyama is the grandmaster of contemporary Japanese photography. From his beginnings in 1959 he has been obsessed with the nude female body. Shinoyama's erotic oeuvre is both a visual parade of earthly passions between heaven and hell and a journey through fifty years of erotic zeitgeist oscillating between art and kitsch, the sublime and the vulgar, joy and grief, pleasure and pain, classics and pop. French/German edition. Special price!
