Ishimoto Yasuhiro 石元泰博
Chicago 芝加哥
photographed 1951, printed 1970s
A light blanket of white snow sits atop a parked car, outlining the vehicle’s lines and gentle curves in sharp contrast. Ishimoto Yasuhiro made this image in Chicago, where he had settled following his release from an internment camp holding Japanese American citizens during World War II. In Chicago, he studied architecture and design under László MoholyNagy, a leading figure of the Bauhaus school that began in Germany in the pre-World War II years. Ishimoto developed a keen eye for composition and meticulous arrangements of light and form that would later impact his interest in architectural photography.
