In this lavishly illustrated book, Xavier-Gilles Néret analyzes the work of Yoshifumi Hayashi from an existential and philosophical as well as artistic perspective, drawing on his interviews with the Japanese artist who, for almost half a century, has shamelessly asserted the importance of sexual desire and the body in all its material dimensions. From his erotic drawings of callipagous women to his sexualized landscapes, from his vulvar and ithyphallic flowers to his "still lifes" teeming with life, Hayashi pursues his quest for the mysteries of matter through the subtle play of light in the gradations of lead pencil, of which he has become a virtuoso alchemist, to fuel irrepressible desire and "repassionate life".
