Radicals and realists in the Japanese nonverbal arts : the avant-garde rejection of modernism

Summary:	"Radicals and Realists in the Japanese Nonverbal Arts is the first book in any language to discuss Japan's avant-garde artists, their work, and the historical environment in which they produced it during the two most creative decades of the twentieth century, the 1950s and 1960s. Many of the artists were radicals, rebelling against existing canons and established authority. Yet at the same time they were realists in choosing concrete materials, sounds, and themes from everyday life for their art and in gradually adopting tactics of protest or resistance through accommodation rather than confrontation. Whatever the means of expression, the production of art was never devoid of historical context or political implication. Focusing on the nonverbal genres of painting, sculpture, dance, choreography, and music composition, this work shows that generational and political differences, not artistic doctrines, largely account for the divergent stances artists took vis-a-vis modernism, the international arts community, Japan's ties to the United States, and the alliance of corporate and bureaucratic interests that solidified in Japan during the 1960s." "Radicals and Realists is based on extensive archival research; numerous concerts, performances, and exhibits, and exclusive interviews with more than fifty leading choreographers, composers, painters, sculptors, and critics active in Japan's avant-garde community during those two innovative decades. Its accessible prose and lucid analysis recommend it to a wide readership, including those interested in modern Japanese art and culture as well as the history of the postwar years."--Jacket.  Read more...
