Fukase also has a lesser-known corpus of collages, self-portraits, photographs reworked as sketches, black-and-white prints, Polaroids and more. This book brings together all of his work for the very first time.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eIts editors, Simon Baker, director of the Maison européenne de la photographie, Paris, and Tomo Kosuga, director of the Masahisa Fukase Archives, Tokyo, have assembled 26 series from Fukase's oeuvre, including \u003ci\u003eMemories of Father\u003c\/i\u003e; \u003ci\u003eThe Solitude of Ravens\u003c\/i\u003e; his portraits of cats; his famous self-portraits taken in a bathtub with a waterproof camera; and many previously unpublished works. Fukase tried his hand at everything, and this essential volume, at more than 400 pages, at last reveals the full breadth of his imagination in an English-language publication.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eAuthor Biography\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eBorn in 1934 on the island of Hokkaido, in the north of Japan, into a family of studio photographers, \u003cb\u003eMasahisa Fukase\u003c\/b\u003e began a career as a freelance reporter in the late 1960s.
