Shūji Terayama

introduction

December 10, 1935 – May 4, 1983

Where to even start with the work of this brilliant artist. Best know for his films that helped usher in the Japanese New Wave cinema, Terayama had his hand in almost all creative genres, photography, poetry, radio and experimental television, He was. major contributor to the countercultural moment and even was very influential on manga and the visual arts of the time as well.

He collaborated heavily with artists like Tadanori Yokoo ( whom I will be featuring soon) and Aquirax Uno , an artist i’ve showcased a lot before, on theatre posters.

I will be sharing a long out print books of his works in its entirety soon for paid subscribers.

Until then here are few images of his to familiarize you with his work.
