Beijing presents major retrospective of Japanese photographer Fukase

Late celebrated Japanese photographer Masahisa Fukase (1934-2012) is often associated with his obsessive portrayal of his wife, beloved muse Yoko Wanibe, and ravens, after Yoko divorced him.

The Three Shadows Photography Art Centre in Beijing is holding Private Scenes: Masahisa Fukase, the artist's largest retrospective in Asia to date, chronicling Fukase's four-decade-long career with 376 works.

Co-curated by Tomo Kosuga, co-founder and director of the Masahisa Fukase Archives, and Qi Yan, executive curator of Three Shadows, the Beijing exhibition features the artist's iconic series of "Ravens" and "Yoko," as well as "Private Scenes," "Family," "Games," and "Walking Eye."
