"This new survey celebrates the lives and work of 44 Modern Japanese artists dating from the early 20th century to today, exploring printmaking in all its forms. Artists featured include Saitō Kiyoshi, who was influenced by European artists, especially Odilon Redon and Edvard Munch, along with Shinoda Tōkō who trained in traditional Japanese calligraphy but, in her own words, "decided to try my own style"."
"Other artists featured include Shinohara Ushio, known for his Ukiyo-e-inspired figures, which are often shown faceless, and Yayanagi Go whose "eye-catching signature style is defined by bright, intense colours, bold shapes and a linear sharpness", says the author, Malene Wagner."
"The publication "not only charts Abney's artistic ethos but offers an intimate glimpse into how she tackles everything from Black sexuality and [the US] modern election cycle to police brutality and national identity," says a publisher's statement. An interview with Thelma Golden, the director of The Studio Museum in Harlem, explores Abney's links with music, race and aspects of history."
