Nobuyoshi Araki

The Japanese photographer was born in Tokyo in 1940, where he still lives and works today. After studying photography from 1959 to 1963 he started to work for an advertising company. Inspired by the black and white photography of artists such as Brassai or Henri Cartier-Bresson he started his own career in the 1960s and 1970s with pictures taken in the streets, photographs of his home town and his personal, intimate environment. A collection of small format b/w photographs, which are presented to the public for the very first time, were also created during this period. This early series of works is complemented by more recent black and white photographs from a cycle which shows the photographer Araki as he has become world-famous: as a narrator of erotic scenes and with pictures of females full of sexual innuendo. The exhibition is organised jointly by the MdM Salzburg and the newly established Leica Gallery Salzburg.
