Hisaji Hara « After Balthus » at Danziger Gallery
Danziger Gallery is pleased to announce the first New York showing of Hisaji Hara’s acclaimed series “A Photographic Portrayal of the Paintings of Balthus”. Directly following the Metropolitan Museum of Art’s landmark Balthus show, it is fascinating to see the myriad connections between Balthus’s work and Japanese culture as well as the Hara’s extraordinary technical skill.
Using medium format film and meticulous in-camera methods, Hara reinvents the iconic and provocative paintings of Balthus (1908 – 2001) in his own staged tableaux.

Hisaji Hara à la Michael Hoppen Gallery
The Michael Hoppen Gallery is delighted to be exhibiting a series of beautiful, monochrome portraits by Hisaji Hara who has modelled his photographic compositions upon paintings by Balthus (1908-2001), one of the most revered and controversial artists of the twentieth century.
In the style of the Modern Master, Hara creates scenes imbued with an unsettling combination of innocence and eroticism. The models have the light, unselfconscious attitudes of playful children and yet their postures invite the eye to see them as sexual young women. Moreover, in reinventing the pictures, Hisaji Hara has chosen to dress his teenage subjects in school uniform, thereby emphasizing the uncomfortable transitional period between child- and adulthood. We feel as if we are the quiet, almost intrusive voyeurs to moments of youthful ...
