Description:
The first survey of Asian American modernists active during the era of Abstract Expressionism, this book reevaluates an entire generation of neglected but important artists. The works of these 58 artists, who include Isamu Noguchi and Kenzo Okada, reveal the strong tradition in Asian art of abstract techniques and show how East Asian art prefigured or paralleled "modern" stylistic developments in the West.
Working alongside such famed painters as Jackson Pollock, Franz Kline, and Mark Tobey, the artists represented here produced an exceptionally strong body of abstract work. Paintings, stone and metal sculptures, woodcuts, works on paper, ceramics, and collages are presented in this handsome volume. Many of the works have never before been published.
Essays by 11 leading scholars explain how East Asian artistic traditions merged with major trends of Abstract Expressionism. They also relate the artistic and social history of Asian Americans and recount the personal experiences of Asian American artists. This book is a invaluable documentation of a significant group of artists whose work has been largely overlooked.<
