Book First Edition
Hard Cover. Condition: Fine. Dust Jacket Condition: Fine. First Edition. Fine copy in original pictorial boards with translucent paper dust jacket. "This volume is the first dual language (English and Japanese) publication to present Munakata's works in all media and genres - woodcuts, watercolors, oil paintings, calligraphy, and ceramics. Through this comprehensive collection of more than 350 works, all illustrated in full color, can be seen the extraordinary range of styles and techniques used by Japan's most renowned twentieth-century artist throughout his career, from his woodcuts of the 1930s to his oil paintings of the 1970s. In addition, each of Munakata's breathtaking and vibrantly colorful creations is individually described in detail. Also included are scholarly essays about Munakata s life as a woodcut print artist, his calligraphy, the literary sources that inspired many of his prints, and his foray into lithography, as well as a lengthy biography that draws on many of Munakata's own writings and a chronology that describes each milestone of Munakata's eventful artistic life. This catalogue accompanies the first large-scale comprehensive retrospective of Munakata's work to be held in the United States, at the Los Angeles County Museum of Art and the Philadelphia Museum of Art. The prints, calligraphies, paintings, and ceramics in the exhibition were borrowed from the holdings of the Munakata Museum in Kamakura, Japan, a foundation established in the artist's residence and studio after his death. The exhibition and catalogue celebrate the centennial of the artist's birth." [International orders will require extra shipping] Size: 4to - over 9¾" - 12" tall.
