Finephoto is pleased to offer an authentic (NOT a modern reprint) vintage 1972 photogravure by the renowned Japanese photographer Tamotsu Yato. Born in 1928, Tamotsu Yato was a Japanese photographer responsible for pioneering Japanese photography of the male form. He created iconic black-and-white images of the Japanese male with his nude and semi nude models being mostly amateur, unsophisticated countryside men. Yato photographed his male nude and physique studies during the 1960's in Japan. His work influenced many photographers of the male form worldwide, both in his day and after. He was a close friend and collaborator of the famous writer Yukio Mishima whom he also photographed nude, as well as a long-term romantic partner of Meredith Weatherby, an expatriate American publisher and translator of Mishima's works into English. Tamotsu Yato died in 1973. This quality sheet fed gravure plate was engraved and printed in two sided gravure by the Inshokan Engraving Company in Tokyo, Japan in 1972. Condition is excellent for this 47+ year old plate. This photogravure plate is guaranteed to be authentic and comes with a hand signed CERTIFICATE OF AUTHENTICITY (COA) with unique individual registered serial number from the Finephoto Vintage Archive & Database. Under magnification this plate shows a tight "honeycomb" grid, uniform pressing of ink and a wide range of tone - all indicative of a high quality sheet fed gravure print. The watermark word "Finephoto" does not appear on the actual print. READY FOR FRAMING & DISPLAY! - The expensive engraved copper plate photogravure process and the resulting fine prints make vintage photogravures highly collectible and excellent vintage prints for framing. Your vintage print will arrive ready to be placed directly into a standard size frame. ABOUT PHOTOGRAVURE: Photogravure (or héliogravure) is an intaglio printmaking process utilizing a carefully etched copper plate made from the original negative/image. Prints are made by pressing suitable paper heavily down upon the inked copper plate which has been intricately etched to varying depths corresponding with the actual tonality of the original negative, This precisely etched plate combined with a fine "honeycomb" screen controls the amount of ink to be transferred to the paper at any given point in direct proportion to the variation of tone in the original image. The result is a true continuous tone print which combines many qualities of a traditional silver based photograph with a tactile feel similar to an etching, engraving or lithograph. Rich in tonal detail, the photogravure process produces delicately rendered shades for a look which is unique in the world of photographic print making. In the early to mid 1900's photogravure was selected (when budgets allowed) for special high quality publishing and portfolio projects, but due to its significant expense and labor, the process is rarely seen today. From Man Ray and Ruth Bernhard to Brett Weston and Ansel Adams, many of the world's most renown photographic masters have published their images in the rich photogravure process. ***WARNING: The above listing description is COPYRIGHT protected material under United States & International Copyright & Intellectual Property laws.
