Artwork Title: In The Court Of The Meiji Temple, Tokyo, Japan

In The Court Of The Meiji Temple, Tokyo, Japan, 1952

Paul Strand

An early member of the Magnum photo agency (he was admitted in 1949), Bischof worked mostly in Asia. His early training in applied art and graphic design imbued him with a keen formal eye, which was consistently in evidence as he worked to document newsworthy events and experiences. Here he has captured the delicate furor of a heavy snowstorm while photographing monastic life at the Meiji temple in Tokyo.
