An expansive look at the multifaceted American artist Toshiko Takaezu within the history of postwar artmaking

Toshiko Takaezu (1922-2011) was an American artist whose multidisciplinary work in ceramics, painting, sculpture, weaving, and installation innovatively drew from the natural world, combining expressionist energies with influences from East Asia. The closed ceramic forms for which she is best known are effectively abstract paintings in the round. Her reputation as a ceramic artist, however, has obscured the breadth of her output in other mediums and her role within the larger art movements of the twentieth century. This book provides the first retrospective assessment of Takaezu's art and life, representing her diverse oeuvre, which spanned six decades, and her hybrid identity as an Asian American woman, artist, and teacher.

This ambitious volume features essays exploring Takaezu's biography, her background as a Hawai'i-born artist of Okinawan heritage, the relationship between her abstract work and that of her contemporaries, the role of cultural exchange in her art, her impact as an educator, and more. Beautifully illustrated with nearly 300 images of artworks and archival photographs, and including an updated chronology, exhibition history, and recollections from the artist's former apprentices, the book offers a compelling and comprehensive account of this singular artist's career.

great informational book
Format: Paperback
I had to buy this book for a graduate-level statistics course. I thought it was kinda silly at first, but it has been a great tool. It has beautiful graphics with fantastic step-by-step instructions and explanations on the whats and whys of tables and figures. I've made some great infographics with the help of this book. Highly recommend for anyone who ever has to present data in some form of fashion.

This book is a great resource. I need to manipulate data for work and present results in PowerPoint and didn’t have much experience. I’ve found this book very straightforward and well organized.
