Accompanied by a letter from the Friends of Photography, San Francisco, on this limited edition photograph offered on the occasion of the book publication Eikoh Hosoe (Untitled 42) (Carmel, California: The Friends of Photography, 1986).
This image from his earliest series, Man and Woman, is one of his most widely published photographs. Typical of the series, this enigmatic print suggests the psychological tensions that are at the heart of male-female relationships.
