"Essays by Kendall H. Brown, Leonard A. Lauder, Anne Nishimura Morse, and J. Thomas Rimer, with a note on printing techniques by Joan Wright." "From the late 19th to the early 20th century, Japan was a vital world center for postcard art. More than just casual mail pieces, these postcards were often designed by prominent artists and had a visual impact that belied their modest format. Remarkably beautiful examples of graphic design in their own right, they also recorded the shifting definitions of "East" and "West" at a time when such European currents as Art Nouveau began to show up in Japanese visual productions." "Art of the Japanese Postcard presents 300 full-color examples of these cards, culled from the vast Leonard A. Lauder Collection."--Jacket. Geen bibliotheekbeschrijvingen gevonden. |

This book is simply superb, and you do not have to be a postcard collector to appreciate the miniature works
of art featured here - covered are history, Russo-Japanese war, artist cards, art nouveau cards, art deco
cards, comic cards, advertising cards, etc. Many of these amazing illustrations show traditional Japanese
woodblock art used to produce surprisingly Western-style images. I am completely blown-away by this book.
An absolutely stunning visual experience - words fail me!
The book itself is extremely well produced and the quality of the illustrations must surely match that of
the originals. Although it is a very recent publication, I have no hesitation in marking it as 'collectable'
in the tags field.
The Museum of Fine Arts in Boston must be some heap good museum - the good burghers of Boston
are very lucky...
I don't really collect Japanese postcards, but I think that I'm about to start... (
