Book Description:
|
Japanese artist Shinkichi Tajiri (1923-2009) led a life and created a body of work that are both rich in paradox. Born in America to Japanese parents, he began his career in Paris, then lived in the Netherlands for half a century. This collection presents six essays that offer various perspectives on the ways that Tajiri's complicated, overlapping personal identities were transformed through his art into seemingly universal themes.
