The item you are bidding on is: KIMIE, a large softcover monograph on the Japanese modernist artist Kimie Tanaka . The book is entirely in Japanese. The artist has a very long list of exhibitions and was included in the Exhibition, Women Painters-East-West, held in 1974 at the Pacific Asia Museum in Pasadena, California . The book is 144 pages, square 4to size, FINE condition, contains about 150 color plates and numerous black and white photographs. See photos for additional information if you read Japanese. The artist's most recent painting recalls to us the work of Marc Chagall . No other copy appears to be available anywhere we could find. Kimie Tanaka(1908-1987). She was a student of Foujita and other then leading Japanese artists, and is recognized as a pioneering woman modern artist in Japan. Her name does not have been widely known probably because she seldom sold her works. Her father was a Budhist Priest but later she was christened to Protestant. This may be reflected to her art. The book is probably the catalogue of her retrospective held in 2004(probably) at the prestigeous Kanagawa Prefectural Modern Art Museum in Kamakura, the Japan's first museum devoted for Modern Art. ********** See below for our COMBINED SHIPPING DISCOUNTS!
