Art of Manga - Nicole Coolidge Rousmaniere

Descriere Art of Manga - Nicole Coolidge Rousmaniere

Celebrate artistic expression and innovation in this illuminating exploration of the history and cultural impact of manga. \nThe Art of Manga spotlights--and celebrates--the Japanese comics and graphic novels that are sought after and beloved by millions of readers around the globe. Manga, which refers to comics and cartooning originating in Japan, utilizes a style first developed in the late nineteenth century that draws from Western comics and satire, as well as from Japanese printing and art historical precedents. With its dexterous line drawings, dynamic compositions, intriguing characters, and compelling storytelling, manga is an incredibly accessible and highly enjoyable form of art. \n \nPublished to coincide with a groundbreaking exhibition at the de Young in San Francisco, The Art of Manga highlights ten key manga artists with rich sections devoted to their work and texts about their aesthetic themes and working methods. This prismatic volume also features essays and interviews on manga history, creation, and culture by artists, scholars, and industry professionals; manga timelines of its Japanese foundations and its relationship to the United States; and more than two hundred full-color illustrations to give readers a deeper understanding of manga's cultural development and social impact--and a greater appreciation for its highly creative and mesmeric power.\n
