	ArtandCulture Artist: Daido Moriyama (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-27)
		Born in the aftermath of Hiroshima, Moriyama recorded the breakdown of traditional values in post-war Japan and the rapid transformation of the once-insular culture under heavy industrialization and exposure to Western values.
		Trained in graphic design, the 20-year-old Moriyama turned to photography while languishing in unrequited-love limbo: "For better or worse, I became involved with photography because of a broken heart." Moriyama lost some of his enthusiasm for design and began taking only poster and pamphlet assignments, some of which required photographs.
		Moriyama's work in fl and white, which spans four decades, portrays the gritty realities of urban Japan; small, hand-held cameras and off-kilter framing create an edgy feel of speed and movement.

	Coincidences: Daido Moriyama's Radical B&W, and Shrink Art
		Moriyama is part of a generation of Japanese photographers that came to prominence in the 1960s, with the most notorious and famous of them being Nobuyoshi Araki.
		Moriyama's work was at its most vital and anarchic in the 1960s, though he has continued to shoot through to the present, and from the mid 1980s forward, he has been the subject of an increasing number of retrospectives.
		Moriyama seems to be conducting some of his latest explorations with low-tech digital cameras in color, if the "Diary" section of his website is any indication.

	Harvard University Art Museums - Press Releases, 2000
		Moriyama served as Hosoe’s assistant for three years, becoming familiar with the major artists of the period, including the writer Yukio Mishima.
		Radical artists, including Moriyama, sought a firm break with the highly regulated Japanese society that was responsible for the war, as well as an affirmation of the vitality of a pre-modern culture that was specifically Japanese.
		Thus, the pictures Moriyama took of the American Navy base Yokosuka – reflecting the freedom he saw there – and the stray dog near the Air Force base at Misawa acknowledge both the liberating newness of the modern experience and its primal rawness.

	ArtForum: Daido Moriyama - photographer
		Moriyama makes images of what is commonly thought to be invisible to the eye, pushing photography to the limits of representation to capture more than mere documentary veracity.
		Moriyama dedicated Hunter to Jack Kerouac and emulated his quick, spontaneous style, shooting on the ran with uncomposed grab shots and printing each image so that it bled through the gutter into the next in one continuous line.
		Warhol's influence is also evident in the images Moriyama lifted from pop culture: from Brigitte Bardot on a motorcycle to the death scene from Bonnie and Clyde; from professional midget wrestling on TV to a police safety poster showing a rear-end collision.

		These are powerful, evocative images, characteristic of Moriyama’s interest in exaggerating the way in which photography "fragments" our perceptions, and in the way the artform fundamentally differs from painting.
		Moriyama once remarked in an interview, referring to images printed on a page, "I sometimes feel more vital reality in a printed woman than I do in a flesh-and-blood one.

		Influenced by William Klein and Robert Frank, Moriyama's grainy images are a startling juxtaposition of age-old tradition and contemporary practice, taken in a spontaneous, confrontational style, and tightly framed to achieve a claustrophobic effect.

	village voice > art > Daido Moriyama, Frantic and Furtive in New York by Vince Aletti
		Daido Moriyama, arguably the most original and influential photographer in Japan, had never been to New York before a month-long visit at the end of 1971 in the company of his friend Tadanori Yokoo, who was preparing for a show of his graphic art at the Museum of Modern Art.
		In spite of this, Moriyama managed to take more than 2000 fl-and-white pictures in New York, 44 of which are on the walls at Roth Horowitz in a show that also includes a broad array of the photographer's books and other publications.
		But no matter how furtive and frantic, Moriyama is relentlessly arresting, and the trademark inky richness of his prints cloaks the most mundane street scenes in a noir atmosphere as exciting as it is disquieting.
