Ei-Q (瑛九, Eikyū, 1911-1960) was a renowned Japanese photographer.[1]
Ei-Q, whose early work was done under his real name of Sugita Hideo (杉田秀夫), was born in Miyazaki Prefecture, and trained as a painter. He soon became interested in photography and particularly photograms. Ei-Q was influenced by the Surrealist aesthetic and also published essays promoting photography as an art form independent of painting.
This did not imply a rejection of painting, and Ei-Q worked toward what he termed photo-dessins, a fusion of photograms and paintings. A first collection of these, published in a very small edition in 1936 as Nemuri no riyū (眠りの理由, "the reason for sleep"), took him to the forefront of the Japanese avant garde.
Ei-Q was able to resume his work after the war.
