  1. Great, Will! The 9-image archive sidebars just came fine! And thanks once more for all the fantastic posts. I especially liked the last ones with the beautiful images Helga Aichinger, a late heir of German Expressionism.

  3. Thanks for your comments.

    I should keep digging for more Foujita. (He seems like a good candidate for your amazing site, too)

    Myrhh. The first and third images from this post are in Made in Japan. The others I found through searches for artists mentioned in the book. (There are numerous images in it I would love to feature -- basically all of them, in fact.)

  5. I was leafing through these in Flickr and was really struck by them. I guess I gotta get the book! Im left wanting more information about the artists, which is always a good thing, I suppose

    Thanks
