5.0 out of 5 stars
Five and a half stars,
By Uncle Borges (Via Lungomare 6) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Japanese Modern Art: Painting from 1910 to 1970 (Hardcover)
One of two or three favorite art-books of mine; indispensible resource on Japanese moderns, nearly all of them "abstract" (mostly painters). Perhaps it is mixing pears with apples, but Japanese abstract Moderns to my taste surpass almost entirely the famed NYC abstract expressionist grouping (and its derivative inheritors such as "second generation" etc.); with the possible exception of Franz Kline. (Maybe also Mark Rothko to a certain extent).
So, next time if someone asks you 'You dig Hisao Domoto?' 'Why certainly, Hisao is one of my favorite painters'. Watch them look up to the humble pedestal of your ultra esoteric coolness...

5.0 out of 5 stars
"Must" reading for students of modern Japanese art.,
By Midwest Book Review (Oregon, WI USA) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Japanese Modern Art: Painting from 1910 to 1970 (Hardcover)
Irmtraud Schaarschmidt-Richter's Japanese Modern Art covers Japanese painting from 1910-1970, featuring over a hundred works by almost thirty Japanese artists and providing the first extensive documentation of the development of Japanese painting into a unique form of modernism. Works are presented with essays by art historians and cover the basics of how art has reflected changes in Japanese traditions.
