San Francisco Museum of Modern Art
September 12 - December 20, 2009
The tumultuous period following World War II proved fertile ground for a generation of Japanese photographers who responded to societal upheaval by creating a new visual language dubbed "Are, Bure, Boke" — rough, blurred, and out of focus. Named for the magazine Provoke, which sought to break the rules of traditional photography, this exhibition traces how Japanese photographers responded to their country's shifting social and political atmosphere.

So damn lucky am I that I was in San Francisco during the last week that this exhibition was open. Other than Daido Moriyama; all of these photographers of the Provoke Era are new to me.
