Keiichi Tanaami The work of Keiichi Tanaami Tanaami, Keiichi 1936-2024 creator artist. Ascari, Alessio editor. text nyu 2024 2024 monographic eng print 256 pages : illustrations ; 33 cm. "The first comprehensive English-language monograph on Keiichi Tanaami's kaleidoscopic oeuvre, which merges Japanese postwar culture and American-style comics with a genre-defining artistic output. Artist, illustrator, graphic designer, filmmaker, and art director, Keiichi Tanaami is best known for his psychedelic creations that reach to the farthest corners of the mind. Since the 1960s, he has been composing works on paper, magazine covers, and phantasmagoric large-scale paintings as a response to his traumatic experience of living through the United States' atomic attack on Japan during World War II. He's since made a mark on the world, exhibiting across the globe. His work is in the collections of the Museum of Modern Art, the Art Institute of Chicago, Yokohama Museum of Art, M+, and the National Portrait Gallery in Washington, DC, among others. Tanaami's work is marked by an unexpectedly harmonic blend of eroticism, surrealism, psychedelia, and American comic art, combined with pointed discourse on politics, consumerism, and pop culture. Although he has been memorialized in print form within a number of smaller, themed publications, this book is the first English-language artist retrospective, a long-awaited and highly anticipated volume. This exceptional publication, printed on multiple papers, is divided into five modules, each opened by a background introduction to the artist's key themes--Eros, Underground, Pop, Tradition, and Landscape--offering a new, exhilarating lens through which to see the legendary artist's oeuvre"--Amazon.ca. edited by Alessio Ascari. a-ja--- Tanaami, Keiichi 1936-2024 Collage, Japanese 20th century Pop art Japan 20th century Nude in art Art, Modern 20th century Collage (Art) japonais 20e siècle Pop'art Japon 20e siècle Nu Art 20e siècle nudes (representations) ART / General Tanaami, Keiichi 1936-2024 Collage, Japanese Pop art Nude in art Japan 1900-1999 fast N7359.T3533 K45 2024 709.2 9780847899661 0847899667 pda,print YDX 240322 20250318222304.9 in00005612095 eng
