| Publisher Description: Taro Okamoto is one of Japan's most recognized artists from the post-WWII period. As a painter and sculptor, he led the avant-garde movements in the country and created many prominent works, including the internationally known "Tower of the Sun" and "The Myth of Tomorrow." This definitive collection features some 400 works chronologically, ranging from his early days in Paris to his last works. By looking at his works in chronological order, we are able to comprehend the transition that Okamoto went through in the course of his art works. As he was also known as an influential speaker, this book reproduces his seminal speeches in successive periods which help us find meanings in his works. |
