This is a fine softcover copy with no wear at all. Completely clean inside and out. Text in English and Japanese. This catalog was prepared to accompany the exhibition at the Mitsubishi Ichigokan Museum in Tokyo from June 27 to September 6, 2015. The exhibition explored the relationship between Kyosai (1831- 1889) and Josiah Condor (1852- 1920). Josiah Condor was a British architect who was hired by the Meiji Japanese government as a professor of architecture for the Imperial College of Engineering and became architect of Japan's Public Works. He was a controversial figure in Japan because his teaching involved instructing young Japanese architects about the architecture in England and Europe. He was a prolific lecturer and author. One of his most important books in the west was "Landscape Gardening in Japan" (1893). Kyosai was also a controversial figure in Japan and ran afoul of the authorities many times. Kyosai is considered by many to be the greatest successor of Hokusai (of whom, however, he was not a pupil), as well as the first political caricaturist of Japan. Illustrated mostly in color.

ill., ril. Il volume rappresenta un catalogo ragionato dedicato all'opera di Gino de Dominicis (1947-1998), una delle figure più emblematiche, controverse e misteriose del panorama artistico del secondo dopoguerra. Artista complesso e inafferrabile, ancorché non inquadrabile nelle correnti e nei movimenti del XX secolo, è considerato una figura chiave per l'arte italiana contemporanea e punto di riferimento per le giovani generazioni coeve e successive. Gino de Dominicis ha scelto di rimanere fuori dalla comunicazione mediatica e le sue opere si sono sempre rifiutate di farsi omologare dal sistema dell'arte. Per sua inflessibile scelta non furono mai pubblicati cataloghi o libri sulla sua opera. La sua vita è stata sempre circondata da un alone di mistero. Questo catalogo ragionato non risolve il mistero, ma getta luce sulle sue opere e mette ordine nella sua creazione. Curato da Italo Tomassoni, il catalogo ragionato documenta e commenta 632 opere, ciascuna corredata da un'ampia scheda che fornisce, oltre alle abituali voci tecniche, espositive e bibliografiche, le notizie relative al contesto e alle circostanze che ne hanno visto la nascita e la realizzazione. Oltre al saggio del curatore che rievoca la leggenda del Maestro, il catalogo ragionato comprende anche una sezione dedicata ai suoi scritti, la riproduzione di documenti rari e inediti, l'elenco completo delle esposizioni personali, delle partecipazioni a mostre collettive e una nutrita bibliografia.
