Ways of Seeing celebrates the major gift to the MFAH by Japanese artist Ishimoto Yasuhiro of nearly 300 of his photographs.
Trained by Harry Callahan at the "New Bauhaus" in Chicago, Ishimoto (born 1921) is widely acknowledged as the most influential Japanese photographer of his generation in the development of postwar Japanese photography.
Ishimoto has donated to the museum 289 black-and-white photographs dating from 1950 to 2006. Through a selection of 67 images, this exhibition reveals the artist´s virtuosity of form and composition over five decades.
