Hardcover. Condition: Fine. Dust Jacket Condition: Near Fine. 1st Edition. Shigeo Fukuda Masterworks; Shigeo Fukuda; introduction by Seymour Chwast; Firefly Books, Buffalo, New York/Richmond Hill, Ontario; 2005. First printing. Shigeo Fukuda (1932 - 2009) was a sculptor, medallist, graphic artist and poster designer who created optical illusions. His art pieces usually portray deception, such as Lunch With a Helmet On, a sculpture created entirely from forks, knives, and spoons, that casts a detailed shadow of a motorcycle. The New York Times described how Fukuda's posters "distilled complex concepts into compelling images of logo-simplicity". His commercial work included his creation of the official poster for the 1970 World's Fair in Osaka. A 1980 poster created for Amnesty International features a clenched fist interwoven with barbed wire, with the letter "S" in the word "Amnesty" at the top of the poster formed from a linked shackle. "Victory 1945", one of his best-known works, features a projectile heading straight at the opening of the barrel of a cannon. A pair of posters created to celebrate Earth Day include a design showing the Earth as a seed opening against a solid sea-blue background and "1982 Happy Earth Day", which shows an axe with its head against the ground and a small branch sprouting upwards from its handle. In 1987, Fukuda was inducted into the Art Directors Club Hall of Fame in New York City, which described him as "Japan's consummate visual communicator", making him the first Japanese designer chosen for this recognition. The Art Directors Club noted the "bitingly satirical commentary on the senselessness of war" shown in "Victory 1945", which won him the grand prize at the 1975 Warsaw Poster Contest, a competition whose proceeds went to the Peace Fund Movement. From the blurb This collection of Shigeo Fukuda's brilliant and witty posters is aptly titled Masterworks. The artist has personally chosen each poster and then arranged them in the order presented here. These are the pieces he feels will communicate visually across all cultures around the world. Through these posters we come to appreciate how little we really notice about the world around us. By making us stop and look, Fukuda makes us more aware and more appreciative of not only what we see but also how we perceive reality itself. This large format book, 167 pages measuring 279mm X 200mm, is in fine condition in a near-fine dust jacket, that is now enclosed in a protective mylar wrap. A well-made book with high quality reproductions of the artist's posters and creative works. Seller Inventory # 2116e
