Duane Michals’ innovative and unconventional approach to photography has set him apart as an artist, redefining the ways in which we think about the medium over the past fifty years.
In this fan-shaped print, Michals gives us a modern variant on the traditional Ukiyo-e print, the Japanese woodblock genre that arose during the Edo—or “Floating World”—period (ca. 1620–1867).
Here, he fuses Eastern and Western models of quietude and reverie, constructing a little fiction that embraces what one writer has described as “life’s more Japanese moments.”
This work is reproduced in Photographs from the Floating World. Photographs by Duane Michals (Steidl, 2010).
