    • Summary:"Shomei Tomatsu (1930-2012) is without a doubt one of the most representative photographers of postwar Japan. His work has been committed deeply and intricately, on multiple layers, to the history of Japan after its defeat in the Second World War. Not only did Tomatsu fundamentally change Japanese modern photography as it had been established in the 1930s, but he also approached his subject matter with absolutely unique methods, questioning what exactly photography is in the first place. Tomatsu was not simply a photographic artist, but deserves to be remembered, on the basis of this multifaceted approach, as an "organizer of photographs.""--Page 22.
