Mishima Go (1924-1988)A charismatic figure who led the gay erotic art of the Showa period, he continued to portray a unique image of the Japanese male child at the dawn of Japanese gay culture. His works express the loneliness and melancholy of individuals and minorities. The Cali Dewitt x Go Mishima "POETRY READING" art exhibition was held in Tokyo from January to February 2022. His work is still attracting attention.The photolithograph from Mishima Go gashu Wakamono (1972) shows a seated youth in profile, arms bound behind the back with green rope, the quiet tension of the pose heightened by the contrast between bare skin and the vivid tattooed patterns that wrap the shoulders and flank; rendered with Mishima Go’s characteristic clarity of line and emotional restraint, the image carries the muted solitude and charged vulnerability that define his vision of male youth within early Showa queer culture, a sensibility that continues to draw attention to his work today.Dimensions: 16.8" x 11.9" / 42.7cm x 30.3cmMaterial: PaperTechnique: PhotolithographyWeight: 30g
