Seller's Description:
New. 1891640380. *** FREE UPGRADE to Courier/Priority Shipping Upon Request ***-*** IN STOCK AND IMMEDIATELY AVAILABLE FOR SHIPMENT-Flawless copy, brand new, pristine, never opened--HARDCOVER. 224 pages; 200 color illustrations. Description: "Contemporary Japanese ceramic artists are heirs to the oldest and richest pottery tradition on Earth, perhaps dating back to 15000 BC. However, rather than ignore or edit this rich legacy, modern ceramicists selectively and eclectively draw from it, manipulating a myriad variety of techniques, glazes, and forms to realize their new and arresting visions. Simply put, modern Japanese ceramics are unrivalled. The approximately 150 works included here have been selected from major Japanese institutions and noted Western collections; all are strikingly photographed in full color and represent the greatest modern masterpieces of Japanese ceramic art. Together they constitute an introduction and overview of the most exciting developments of postwar Japanese ceramics. This lavish and oversized volume has been designed in a lively and attractive style to target readership not only of Asian art aficionados and practising potters, but also the general art-loving public for whom the Japanese ceramic scultpures produced over the past half-century will be a revelation. In view of the readership, the writing style is popular, not academic, and principally directed toward enhancing aesthetic appreciation. Nonetheless, the text has been edited by a distinguished Asian art scholar."--with a bonus offer--
