The artist began to create his own, developing an idiosyncratic process that combined ancient Japanese pottery traditions with modern innovations.\u003cbr\u003eThis striking volume charts Rauschenberg's foray into the medium. Including previously unpublished archival material, the book presents two of his rarely seen series, \u003ci\u003eThe Japanese Clayworks\u003c\/i\u003e (1982\/1985) and \u003ci\u003eJapanese Recreational Clayworks\u003c\/i\u003e (1982-83\/1985). The former features sculptural elements and photographic imagery of ancient and modern Japan, as well as distinctive brushstrokes; the latter series comprises prefabricated reproductions of historical Western artworks on ceramic panels, to which Rauschenberg added his own imagery of contemporary Japan from photographs he took across the country, along with gestural brushwork.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eNumber of Pages:\u003c\/strong\u003e 128\u003c\/div\u003e\u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDimensions:\u003c\/strong\u003e 0.9 x 11.6 x 8.6 IN\u003c\/div\u003e\u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePublication Date:\u003c\/strong\u003e September 05, 2023\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Books by splitShops","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51765204648224,"sku":"9783901935695","price":50.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0974\/9764\/5344\/files\/5f18aeec30452d80d799dcc244637fe8.webp?v=1780263667","url":"https:\/\/ebocreations.com\/products\/robert-rauschenberg-japanese-clayworks-hardcover","provider":"The E-Book Oasis LLC","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
