Description

A comprehensive survey of the development of an independent modernism in Japanese art from the first abstract works at the beginning of the century to artistic approaches in the post-war period. Featuring more than 100 works by 26 Japanese artists, this volume is the first extensive documentation of the development of Japanese painting into a uniquely Japanese form of modernisma modernism which Japan developed in the course of its coming to terms with outside influences, and which is both contemporary and self-sufficient. The works are discussed and complemented by highly informative essays by well-known art scholars.
