Amazing how much the art establishment and educational institutions stick to a handful of familiar European and American names, leaving whole continents of fantastic illustration unexplored or even considered. Kind of ironic that every single bookstore or art you walk into (ok, as an American) has volumes of 'classic' Japanese block prints from the 1700s but absolutely nothing from Japan in the 1900s... not here though, leave no stone unturned!<br />ThanksUnknownhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03301142358993620196noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2402275990823741920.post-13404464011690981292009-12-23T16:15:52.267-05:002009-12-23T16:15:52.267-05:00Wow -it's like Bloc-meets-Lichtenstein filtere...Wow -it's like Bloc-meets-Lichtenstein filtered through Metropolis.
