Body in Japanese Art
Published by Thriftbooks.com User , 17 years ago
This is a really useful book for people studying contemporary Japanese culture. Understanding the changing nature of the body in Japanese art is key to making sense of what's going on right now in art. My only complaint is that I wish they had a more academically established cast of authors, though the varying backgrounds of the critics allowed for insight into how these issues are cropping up in various fields. (and since the field is growing and changing, it isn't easy to find people with post-doctorate degrees in modern Asian art yet) Naturally, the writing style and critical depth also varied from essay to essay.
