Remarques & avis / Review — Yasuhiro YOSHIOKA (1934-2002)'s first photobook, and a marvel of contrasted b&w body photography, then judged as obscene and censored, in a finely crafted, privately published volume. Particularly, very impressive close-ups of feet and pubic hair. A personal favorite.
Le premier ouvrage de YOSHIOKA Yasuhiro (1934-2002) et une merveille de photographie n&b contrastée du corps humain, alors jugée obscène et censurée, dans un beau volume publié à compte d'auteur. En particulier, de très impressionnants plans rapprochés de pieds, mains et poils pubiens. Un favori personnel.
