Mishima Go (1924-1988) Photolithography From "Mishima Go gashu Wakamono" (Mishima Go Book of Pictures) - 1972Mishima 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 1972 photolithograph from Mishima Go gashu Wakamono shows a kneeling youth turned partly away, the taut back and thigh carrying a vivid tattoo of a kimono?clad figure whose reds and blues stand out sharply against the pale skin; the clean outlines, flat planes of colour, and quiet tension between body and image reflect Mishima Go’s distinctive gaze on male youth in early postwar gay culture, where loneliness, desire, and self?presentation often coexist in a single pose, and the print’s crisp, slightly cool surface tone preserves the unmistakable mood of his Showa?era visual language.Dimensions: 11.9" x 16.8" / 30.3cm x 42.7cmMaterial: PaperTechnique: PhotolithographyWeight: 30g
