Omschrijving
Erotic, grotesque, controversial, humorous, and super-cool. Toshi Saeki is a cult fantasy artist of Japan, known for his daydream imaginative world full of eroticism, vivid colors, and a touch of humor. He is also know for his unique style of creating art using a method similar to the traditional Ukiyoe (17C Japanese art). So his work is universal and transcends time, but at the same time is very traditional. This is a collection of Saeki's works in music, such as album art and poster and flyer design, which he has been involved in since the '70s. Saeki is deeply associated with the avant-garde music/ art/ culture scene of that time, and most of the musicians he has worked with hold cult status in Japan. Many creators of the time, including Japan's most productive and provocative avant-garde film and theater producer and dramatist Shuji Terayama, praise Saeki as a true artist who captured the creative feel and air of Japanese avant-garde in the '70s. In tabloid form, this book delivers Saeki's works in a large size format, with a centerfold that may be used as a poster. Color.
