FOAM MAGAZINE #15 / CONSTRUCT / TOSHIKO OKANOUE

Since the late 1990s the photo-collage works of Toshiko Okanoue have been 'rediscovered' through exhibitions and in publications. Her works have gained recognition for their importance to postwar photography and the surrealist movement in Japan. her works had been buried in oblivion for nearly forty years, largely because of the course her life took.
