Serie A Chronicle of Grief and Anger
Hiroshi Hamaya | 1960 Documents the massive protests in Tokyo against the Japan-U.S. Security Treaty. Through a series of black-and-white photographs, taken in just one month, he captures the citizen fervor, political tension and social disenchantment of the moment. It marks a turn towards a more engaged photography and is considered a key visual testimony of post-war Japan.
Japan, 1915-1999
Hiroshi Hamaya (Japan, 1915-1999) is one of the most outstanding photographers of 20th century Japanese photography. He was the first Japanese to be a member of the Magnum agency and the only Japanese to participate in the well-known exhibition “The Family of Man” (1955). His photographs are a valuable testimony to the rural life and cultural traditions of Japan. His humanistic and ethnographic approach, which combined aesthetics and social commitment, allowed him to capture the essence of his country. His work has been recognized with awards such as the Hasselblad Award in 1987 and is part of the collection of major museums such as the MoMA in New York or the British Museum in London.
