Sunagawa No.5, oil on plywood, 1955

Hiroshi Nakamura (中村 宏, Nakamura Hiroshi, born September 20, 1932 Shizuoka Prefecture) is a Japanese artist who has worked in 'reportage' and surrealist styles.[1][2] Early works, like "Sunagawa No.5" (1955) and "The Base," (1957) critiqued the U.S. military presence in Japan. The protests represented in "Sunagawa No.5", the Sunagawa Struggle, were a response to the planned expansion of Tachikawa Airfield.[3] His later art took a more surrealist turn, with common motifs being high school girls and methods of locomotion, including planes and trains.[4]
