Yasuhiro Ishimoto

Street Scene From Above Showing Car And Turn Only Sign

A dynamic aerial perspective captures the geometric interplay of urban life, with a solitary car navigating a city street beneath the commanding presence of a "Turn Only" sign. Ishimoto's masterful use of light and shadow transforms an ordinary street scene into a striking composition of bold shapes and graphic contrasts. The gelatin silver print reflects the artist's keen eye for finding abstract beauty within the structured rhythms of everyday city life.

Medium
Gelatin silver print, printed no later than 1962.
