See/Saw

Description

Comparisons between the art of Japan past and present reveal how current artists-whom we think of as being primarily manga- or animee-influenced-are in fact constantly borrowing from the traditional forms and techniques of Japan.

Kyoko Wada is an art writer, critic, and historian. He is the author of books on Yoshimoto Nara and the photographer Rika. Ivan Vartanian is an author and editor based in Tokyo, Japan. His publications include Dead Dead Cute, Egon Schiele: Drawings and Watercolors, and Japanese Photobooks of the 1960s & '70s, among others.
