Yasuhiro Ishimoto: Someday, Chicago offers a fresh perspective on the work of one of the most significant transnational photographers of the 20th century. Published in conjunction with a major exhibition at the DePaul Art Museum, the book focuses on Ishimoto’s transformative years in Chicago. It explores his training at the Institute of Design (the “New Bauhaus”), where he mastered a rigorous modernist visual language. The photographs capture the vibrant street life of Chicago’s South Side, the city’s evolving architecture, and the human condition with a blend of formal precision and deep empathy. This volume positions Ishimoto as a key bridge between Japanese and American modernism, revealing his role in shaping a global photographic aesthetic.
