This book delves into the influential work of Yasuhiro Ishimoto, exploring his deep ties to Chicago, where he lived post-World War II after leaving a US internment camp. Celebrated as a significant twentieth-century photographer, Ishimoto developed his modernist perspective at Chicago's Institute of Design, dialoguing with Laszlo Moholy-Nagy, Harry Callahan, and Aaron Siskind. He also documented neighborhood changes reflective of broader US shifts. Accompanying a September 2018 DePaul Art Museum exhibition, this catalog includes Ishimoto's key works in black-and-white and color, alongside essays by curators Jasmine Alinder and John Tain.
