Description: >> --> >> --> Description >> --> This is a collection of works by Japanese artist Keiichi Tanaami. This book brings together a kaleidoscopic body of work by an artist who has successfully fused Japanese postwar culture with American-style comics to produce an artistic output that could become a category in itself. This is the first time that this comprehensive monograph has been published in English.The artist, illustrator, graphic designer, filmmaker and art director is best known for his psychedelic works that reach into the deepest recesses of the subconscious. His childhood experiences of war led him to create works on paper, magazine covers and large-scale dreamlike paintings since the 1960s, a response to his traumatic experience of surviving the American bombing of Japan during World War II. His work has garnered worldwide attention and has been shown in exhibitions both in Japan and abroad, and is currently included in the collections of MoMA, The Art Institute of Chicago, Yokohama Museum of Art, M+ and the National Portrait Gallery in Washington DC.His work is characterised by an unlikely combination, surrealism, psychedelia and American comic art, combined with a strong commentary on politics, consumerism and pop culture. Although he has published several smaller, more focused books, this is his first retrospective to be published in English, making it a long-awaited and anticipated publication.The book is produced on a variety of paper types and is a remarkable publication in itself. Divided into five chapters, each begins with a preface that provides background to the authors central, underground, pop, traditional and landscape, and offers a fascinating new perspective on this legendary work.The issue is edited by Alessio Ascari, founder and creative director of Capsule and KALEIDOSCOPE magazines, with contributions by curator Hans Ulrich Obrist, artistic director of Londons Serpentine Galleries, and curator and cultural critic Carlo McCormick.EXHIBITION:Keiichi Tanaami: Adventures of Memory Dates: Wednesday, August 7, 2024 - Monday, November 11, 2024Closed: Tuesdays Opening hours: 10:00 - 18:00Venue: The National Art Center, Tokyo Special Exhibition Room 1E Payment We only accept PayPal payments.
