Download or read book Ascending Chaos written by and published by Chronicle Books. This book was released on 2012-09-28 with total page 250 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Ascending Chaos is the first major retrospective of Japanese-American artist Masami Teraoka's prolific and acclaimed work thus far. In Teraoka's paintings—which have evolved from his wry mimicry of Japanese woodblock prints to much larger and complex canvasses reminiscent of Bosch and Brueghel—the political and the personal collide in a riot of sexually frank tableaux. Populated by geishas and goddesses, priests, and politicians, and prominent contemporary figures, these paintings are the spectacular next phase of a wildly inventive career. With essays by renowned art critics who discuss how Teraoka's work inventively marries east and west, sex and religion, Ascending Chaos is a critical overview of this cultural trickster.
Download or read book Waves and Plagues written by Howard A. Link and published by Chronicle Books (CA). This book was released on 1988 with total page 96 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Born in Japan but now a resident of the United State, artist Masami Teraoka has an uncommon insight into a manners and rites of both cultures. His best-known paintings from the 1970s poke fun at the clash between East and West, as hamburgers, french fries, and ice-cream cones invade the "floating world" of geishas and samurais. In his recent AIDS series, Teraoka responds with rage, poignancy, and even well-placed humor to the ravages and consequences of this century's latest plague. Waves and Plagues: The Art of Masami Teraoka, the first full-length book to feature Teraoka's work, presents us with the work of an artist of supreme skill and vision. As the forty-four color reproductions contained within illustrate, the artist joins the dissimilar conventions of traditional Japanese printmaking and pop art to comment with intelligence, satire, and compassion on the follies and preoccupations of popular culture. Whether the arrested majesty of a stormy Pacific wave, the passion of a sublimely erotic encounter, or the danger and devastation of AIDS, the subjects of Masami Teraoka's art are eloquent and essential. -- from cover flap.

Book excerpt: A gorgeous presentation devoted to the art of Japanese eroticism, drawn from the Honolulu Museum of Art's rare and distinguished collection. The Japanese paintings and prints called shunga (literally "spring pictures") reflected the thriving sexual culture of early modern Japan and depicted with sensitivity and nuance the private lives of various social types, from courtesans and Kabuki actors to ordinary townspeople. Organized around a series of exhibitions at the Honolulu Museum of Art, this sumptuous volume presents art from the museum's vast holdings of ukiyo-e prints, woodblock-printed books, and paintings, particularly those originating from the collections of scholar Richard D. Lane and famed author James A. Michener. These fascinating works, dating from the seventeenth through the twentieth centuries, explore Japan's sexual culture (including issues of gender and the country's ever-evolving sex industry) with humor as well as a surprisingly sophisticated literary and art-historical approach. Sure to become a collector's item, this gorgeously designed publication offers stunning color plates showcasing numerous and unusual examples of exquisite Japanese erotica. Texts by leading scholars of shunga and ukiyo-e complete this treasure album of a book.

Download or read book Yoshitoshi s Strange Tales written by John Stevenson and published by Brill Hotei. This book was released on 2016 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Taisō Yoshitoshi (1839-1892) was fascinated by the supernatural, and some of his best work concerns ghosts, monsters, and charming animal transmutations. Yoshitoshi's strange tales presents two series (with full page illustrations) that focus on his depictions of the weird and magical world of the transformed. The first series is One Hundred Tales of Japan and China (Wakan hyaku monogatari, 1865) and it is based on a game in which people told short scary ghost tales in a darkened room, extinguishing a candle as each tale ended. New Forms of Thirty-six Strange Things (Shinken sanjūrokkaisen) of 1889-92 illustrates stories from Japan's rich heritage of legends in more serene and objective ways.
