New English Paperback. 4to. (29 x 24 cm). In English and Turkish. [117] p., color ills. Akira Kurosawa. Drawings.= Desenler. [Exhibition catalogue]. Edited by Begüm Akkoyunlu Ersöz, Fatma Çolakoglu, Tania M. Bahar. "Ten years after the death of Akira Kurosawa, Sana and Inan Kiraç Foundation Pera Museum is paying special tribute to the world of cinema's Japanese master by hosting eighty-seven drawings that express Kurosawa's visual intricate universe. As a prelude to this symphony of colors, the words of Aldo Tassone recount the journey of the emperor of Japanese cinema as a biographical essay. A descendent of the Samurai, Kurosawa was born during the end of Japan's Meiji Period (1867-1912). His childhood coincided with the transition from feudalism to modernity, from isolation to opening up to the world. It was undeniably this particular atmosphere, as much as his family circle, that urged him from a very early age on, to quench the thirst he had for Western art. His oeuvre, in fact, is an original synthesis of Eastern and Western cultures.".
