Description
Human-crafted. AI-refined.

This image depicts a woman in a flowing, aqua-colored dress striking a dynamic pose. The use of vibrant blues and soft, billowing fabrics creates a sense of movement and weightlessness. The subject's dramatic body language and the dramatic lighting contribute to an overall impression of elegance and grace. The artistic style appears to be highly stylized, with a focus on capturing the subject's graceful movement and the ethereal, dreamlike quality of the scene. This work likely aims to convey a sense of feminine beauty and the power of expressive, choreographed movement. ...

Artist
Harumi Yamaguchi
B.1941, Japanese

A leading name in the world of Japanese advertising, she pioneered the highly dramatic but elusively flat airbrush aesthetic closely associated with commercial illustration. Harumi Yamaguchi’s practice places her in the vanguard of new painterly practices and as a celebrated documenter of an emerging feminist aesthetic from the 1970s onwards. Born in Matsue in the Shimane prefecture, Yamaguchi graduated from Tokyo University of the Arts in oil painting. She began her career as a freelance illustrator, spearheading the advertising for the renowned retail establishment PARCO. From its outset, PARCO was established to combine a commercial retail establishment with a cultural facility, combining platforms such as museums, theatres, and publishing in addition to retail. Yamaguchi’s role as engineer of the project’s mise-en-scène places her in the centre of art and design in Japan. As one of the original gyaru — commonly known also as “Shibuya Girls” rising from out ūman ribu or the feminist movements of the 1970s and generally applied to professionally-empowered but trend-conscious young women— Yamaguchi’s position at PARCO gave her license to portray an emerging cosmopolitan woman, liberated from the vestiges of traditional femininity and empowered through consumerism to define her own individuality. “Harumi’s gals” are often active and in motion — be it throwing a ball or swimming in a crystal blue pool — and returning the gaze of the viewer. As Chizuko Ueno noted in her essay published in connection to “Women of the 70s PARCO Poster Exhibition 1969-1986”, an exhibition that took place at the Tokyo Metropolitan Museum of Photography, “while appearing to adhere to the scenario of male-tailored eroticism, Yamaguchi deconstructs male desire through her exaggerative depictions. As a consequence, the female body is idealised to a realm unreachable by male hands”. ...
