Village at dusk たそがれの村

YASUMOTO Koyo 安本 江陽

Awarded an honorable mention at the May 1931 Japan Photography Association exhibition, this work was later published in the September 1931 issue of Photo Times. The figures of what appear to be sisters minding smaller children, a child in school uniform, and a group of three, who appear to be parents and a child, are effectively arranged across the deformed, concave landscape. In this work we see YASUMOTO’s distinctive style: not a one-sided grasp of the scene in terms of the photographer’s sensibility but a fusion of the photographer’s subjective gaze and the objective reality of village life.
