Gutai 4 å-·ä½“ 4 - 第一回å-·ä½“展 Special Edition of the 1st Gutai Art Exhibition. Gutai Henshå« I-Inkai å-·ä½“編集委員会

Gutai 4 å-·ä½“ 4 - 第一回å-·ä½“展 Special Edition of The 1st Gutai Art Exhibition. Gutai HenshÅ« I-inkai å-·ä½“編集委員会, publisher. Nishinomiya. July 1, 1956. 24.5 x 25.7 cm magazine with dark red wrappers decorated with an image of abstract art. 34 pages of black and white photographic images of artworks, from the 1st Gutai Art Exhibition held at Foster Hall in Tokyo in 1955. All are identified with artists' names. The avant garde artists whose work was included in the exhibition are all Japanese. The Table of Contents in English on the inside front cover lists the artists' names and the first page has the Contents in Japanese, along with an image of the magazine poster and a small triangular cut design, on green, heavy paper. 8 x 11cm errata in Japanese text is laid in. The essay "On the First Gutai-ten" by the well-known Gutai artist and leader Yoshihara JirÅ� å�‰åŽŸæ¬¡éƒŽ is translated in English on page 2 and in Japanese on the following page. There are photo images with essays on Kazuo Shiraga, showing him rolling on the ground and throwing his mud-like material as well as essays on SaburÅ� Murakami with photo images of his artwork in situ. The following pages continue with numerous black and white photo images, and five in color, and essays in Japanese text featuring avant garde Gutai artists and their works in gallery spaces and on their own. Page 33 features an essay by M/Sgt I. G. Edmonds that is translated into Japanese from English, where it appeared in Pacific Stars and Stripes titled, "Art is a Hole in the Ground." The final, unnumbered page is also in heavy green paper and lists the Gutai members with addresses in Japanese on one side and an ItÅ� Eishinsha sponsor advertisement on the other. Gutai was a radical post-war art movement that preceded performance art in the US by a decade. The Gutai Art Association ( Gutai Bijutsu Kyokai) or Gutai Group was formed in 1954 by Yoshihara and Shimamoto Shozo (1928 - 2013) and was active until 1972. The physical nature of their art (gutai roughly translates to "embodiment" or "the concrete") resulted in kinetic paintings, 3-dimensional sculptures and performances. Audiences came to expect the unexpected. A Gutai Group artist might burst through hanging sheets of paper, paint with his feet while swinging on ropes or wrestle with the paints directly on the canvas, pushing the boundaries of the avant-garde Mavo movement that preceded it. At times the audience was encouraged to join in and create the art with markers on an unfinished canvas or buttons that chimed musical notes. The Gutai magazine and subsequent PINAKOTHEK catalogs, were an important method of recording the group's art and concepts and extending to audiences abroad. One of those whom the magazine reached was Michel Tapié, a critic and collector. Tapié was a supporter of what he called "L'art informel" (Art Informel); encompassing international art that transcended what was then categorized as modern. He was a great promoter of The Gutai Group, and it was believed he found them through the GUTAI periodical. Rubbing to covers, the front lower cover is creased. .

[JAPANESE FEATHERS FROM EDO-PERIOD].

[Hand-painted manuscript scroll of different types of feather (or fletching) used in the traditional Japanese arrow making]. About mid or late 18th century.

. A very long scroll (478 x 22.2 cm) with 74 illustrations of feathers, hand-painted in black, grey and white ink on thin paper. The feathers are illustrated with stripes and dots in lots of different variations. An illustration of a falcon appears at the beginning of the scroll. Some small wormholes throughout, not affecting the illustrations. One small hole at beginning and one line of text (probably a name) has been cut out at the start of the scroll, and paper has been restored. Later re-binding with some wear, housed in a modern box. Japanese arrows (Ya) are considerably longer than Western arrows. Traditionally, the shafts were made of a special kind of bamboo and fletched with feathers of larger birds of prey, like hawks or sea eagles. The feathers or fletchings (hane) are one of the most important components of an arrow, giving it stability in flight. There are two main classifications of Japanese arrows; haya and otoya. The first kind was made from feathers from the left wing and would rotate clockwise and the other type was made from the right wing and would spiral counter-clockwise. An unsophisticated but charming piece of artwork.

Exhibition - Tokyo 1922.

[Heiwa Kinen Tokyo Hakurankai Jimu Hokoku].

Tokyo Fucho 1924 (Taisho 13). Two volumes 26x19cm, publisher's embossed wrappers (browned); 681pp, heaps of illustrations: folding colour plans, architectural elevations and plans, photo plates, etc. Browning and foxing expected from the paper but still a rather good fresh copy.
¶ The official report on the 1922 Tokyo Memorial Peace Exposition is the very model of what an official report on an exhibition should be. You could just about rebuild the whole thing from this. The detail extends to measured drawings of light fittings, plans of the garden beds and coloured reproductions of the tickets and advertising. The 1922 Peace Memorial Exhibition, celebrating the League of Nations and a bright future, was the most lavish national Expo ever held. The pavilions were a mix of stately, ultra modern and funfair fairy tale.

Hiroshige. One Hundred Famous Views of EDO

Taschen, 2015. Gekartonneerd met stofomslag. Pp: 616. Utagawa Hiroshige (1797-1858) was one of the last great artists in the ukiyo-e tradition. Literally meaning pictures of the floating world, ukiyo-e was a particular genre of art that flourished between the 17th and 19th centuries and came to characterize the Western world's visual idea of Japan. In many ways images of hedonism, ukiyo-e scenes often represented the bright lights and attractions of Edo (modern-day Tokyo): beautiful women, actors and wrestlers, city life, and spectacular landscapes.Though he captured a variety of subjects, Hiroshige was most famous for landscapes, with a final masterpiece series known as One Hundred Famous Views of Edo (1856-1858), which depicted various scenes of the city through the seasons, from bustling shopping streets to splendid cherry orchards.This reprint is made from one of the finest complete original sets of woodblock prints belonging to the Ota Memorial Museum of Art in Tokyo. It pairs each of the 120 illustrations with a description, allowing readers to immerse themselves in these beautiful, vibrant vistas that became paradigms of Japonisme and inspired Impressionist, Post-Impressionist and Art Nouveau artists alike, from Vincent van Gogh to James McNeill Whistler.

Edward Luce 65563

In Spite of the Gods

Doubleday, 2007. Gekartonneerd met stofomslag. Pp: 383. India remains a mystery to many Americans, even as it is poised to become the world`s third largest economy within a generation, outstripping Japan. It will surpass China in population by 2032 and will have more English speakers than the United States by 2050. In In Spite of the Gods, Edward Luce, a journalist who covered India for many years, makes brilliant sense of India and its rise to global power. Already a number-one bestseller in India, his book is sure to be acknowledged for years as the definitive introduction to modern India. In Spite of the Gods illuminates a land of many contradictions. The booming tech sector we read so much about in the West, Luce points out, employs no more than one million of India`s 1.1 billion people. Only 35 million people, in fact, have formal enough jobs to pay taxes, while three-quarters of the country lives in extreme deprivation in India`s 600,000 villages. Yet amid all these extremes exists the world`s largest experiment in representative democracy"and a largely successful one, despite bureaucracies riddled with horrifying corruption. Luce shows that India is an economic rival to the U.S. in an entirely different sense than China is. There is nothing in India like the manufacturing capacity of China, despite the huge potential labor force. An inept system of public education leaves most Indians illiterate and unskilled. Yet at the other extreme, the middle class produces ten times as many engineering students a year as the United States. Notwithstanding its future as a major competitor in a globalized economy, American. leaders have been encouraging India`s rise, even welcoming it into the nuclear energy club, hoping to balance China`s influence in Asia. Above all, In Spite of the Gods is an enlightening study of the forces shaping India as it tries to balance the stubborn traditions of the past with an unevenly modernizing present. Deeply informed by scholarship and history, leavened by humor and rich in anecdote, it shows that India has huge opportunities as well as tremendous challenges that make the future �"œhers to lose.�"�.

Emily Baum 284065

The Invention of Madness. State, Society, and the Insane in Modern China

University of Chicago Press, 2018. Paperback. Pp: 280. Throughout most of history, in China the insane were kept within the home and treated by healers who claimed no specialized knowledge of their condition. In the first decade of the twentieth century, however, psychiatric ideas and institutions began to influence longstanding beliefs about the proper treatment for the mentally ill. In The Invention of Madness, Emily Baum traces a genealogy of insanity from the turn of the century to the onset of war with Japan in 1937, revealing the complex and convoluted ways in which �"œmadness�"� was transformed in the Chinese imagination into �"œmental illness.�"� �"‹ Focusing on typically marginalized historical actors, including municipal functionaries and the urban poor, The Invention of Madness shifts our attention from the elite desire for modern medical care to the ways in which psychiatric discourses were implemented and redeployed in the midst of everyday life. New meanings and practices of madness, Baum argues, were not just imposed on the Beijing public but continuously invented by a range of people in ways that reflected their own needs and interests. Exhaustively researched and theoretically informed, The Invention of Madness is an innovative contribution to medical history, urban studies, and the social history of twentieth-century China.
