Charles A. Hartman Fine Art

Charles A. Hartman Fine Art is pleased to present the work of world renowned photographer, Daido Moriyama. Spanning five decades, the photographs in this exhibition include many of the artist's iconic images as well as lesser known, but equally compelling, pictures. Moriyama's gaze finds fascination where others do not. His work is both gritty and sensual. The result is a striking collaboration between the sacred and the mundane that is as evocative as it is beautiful.

Daido Moriyama was born in 1938 in Osaka, Japan. In 1961 he moved to Tokyo and became an assistant to the eminent photographer, Eikoh Hosoe. In 1964 he started his career as a freelance photographer. He is widely recognized as one of Japan's most important and influential postwar photographers. His powerful, edgy black-and-white photographs have been the subject of dozens of books which have themselves had an enormous impact on the world of photography. His work has been exhibited in galleries and museums around the world and is in numerous important public and private collections.
