Lives and works in Tokyo. Tadanori Yokoo, 1970 Courtesy the artist Photo: Kouji Yasukouchi. Tadanori Yokoo is one of Japan’s most well-known artists, who began working with painting in 1966. In parallel, Yokoo’s early screenprints combined photographs with the influence of traditional Japanese ukiyo-e (woodblock prints) and pop art’s flat colours and overtly sexual content. Awarded the Grand Prize for Prints at the 6th Paris Youth Biennale in 1969, Yokoo experimented with collage and illustration, re-appropriating found photographs and images, which reflected on the rapid changes and Westernisation of Japan post-war society. His work became influenced by mysticism following his trip to India in the 1970s, resulting in posters with eclectic imagery sharing the aesthetics of the underground psychedelic magazines of the time. Tadanori Yokoo’s animation KISS KISS KISS 1964 uses the pop art strategy of appropriating comic-book images of kissing couples complete with speech bubbles spelling ‘kiss’. The work starts off with the soundtrack of Dean Martin’s popular song ‘Kiss’, changing moments later to the otherworldly sounds of a theremin, suggesting the emergence of a darker side to the kissing couple’s bliss. As the animation progresses, the images are manipulated through hand colouring, rhythm, rotation and the effect of ripped paper, speeding up only to once again end with Martin’s song.

Tadanori Yokoo (横尾 忠則, Yokoo Tadanori, born 27 June 1936 in Hyōgo Prefecture) is a Japanese graphic designer, illustrator, printmaker and painter. Tadanori Yokoo, born in Nishiwaki, Hyōgo Prefecture, Japan, in 1936, is one of Japan's most successful and internationally recognized graphic designers and artists. He began his career as a stage designer for avant garde theatre in Tokyo. His early work shows the influence of the New York-based Push Pin Studio (Milton Glaser and Seymour Chwast in particular), but Yokoo cites filmmaker Akira Kurosawa and writer Yukio Mishima as two of his most formative influences. In the late 1960s he became interested in mysticism and psychedelia, deepened by travels in India. Because his work was so attuned to 1960s pop culture, he has often been (unfairly) described as the "Japanese Andy Warhol" or likened to psychedelic poster artist Peter Max, but Yokoo's complex and multi-layered imagery is intensely autobiographical and entirely original. By the late 60s he had achieved international recognition for his work and was included in the 1968 "Word & Image" exhibition at the Museum of Modern Art in New York. Four years later MoMA mounted a solo exhibition of his graphic work organized by Mildred Constantine. Yokoo collaborated extensively with Shūji Terayama and his theater Tenjō Sajiki. He starred as a protagonist in Nagisa Oshima's film Diary of a Shinjuku Thief. In 1968 Yukio Mishima claimed, In 1981 he unexpectedly "retired" from commercial work and took up painting after seeing a Picasso retrospective at the Museum of Modern Art (New York). His career as a fine artist continues to this day with exhibitions of his paintings every year. Alongside this, he remains fully engaged and prolific as a graphic designer.

  • Artistic Evolution at the Confluence of Cultures
    Dochaku: Artistic Evolution at the Confluence of Cultures Toshiko Oiyama A thesis submitted in fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy School of Art, College of Fine Arts University of New South Wales 2011 Acknowledgements Had I known the extent of work required for a PhD research, I would have had a second, and probably a third, thought before starting. My appreciation goes to everyone who made it possible for me to complete the project, which amounts to almost all with whom I came in contact while undertaking the project. Specifically, I would like to thank my supervisors Dr David McNeill, Nicole Ellis, Dr Paula Dawson, Mike Esson and Dr Diane Losche, for their inspiration, challenge, and encouragement. Andrew Christofides was kind to provide me with astute critiques of my practical work, while Dr Vaughan Rees and my fellow PhD students were ever ready with moral support. Special thanks goes to Dr Janet Chan for giving me the first glimpse of the world of academic research, and for her insightful comments on my draft. Ms Hitomi Uchikura and Ms Kazuko Hj were the kind and knowledgeable guides to the contemporary art world in Japan, where I was a stranger. Margaret Blackmore and Mitsuhiro Obora came to my rescue with their friendship and technical expertise in producing this thesis. My sister Setsuko Sprague and my mother Nobuko Oiyama had faith in my ability to complete the task, which kept me afloat. Lastly, a huge thanks goes to my husband Derry Habir. I hold him partly responsible for the very existence of this project – he knew before I ever did that I wanted to do a PhD, and knew when and how to give me a supporting hand in navigating its long process.

  • Tadanori Yokoo; Selected Posters 116 Reviewed by Victor Margolin In
    Tadanori Yokoo; Selected Posters 116 Reviewed by Victor Margolin In one of his first posters, which appeared in 1966, a youthful Tadanori Yokoo proclaimed his own death. The poster depicted the body of a young man swinging from a rope that was suspended from a curved strip with his name on it in large Roman letters. Behind the body, and dominating the poster, were the rays of a red sun that presumably referenced Yokoo’s Japanese identity. At the bottom of the poster was a box containing a text that read “Having reached a climax at the age of 29, I was dead.” However, Yokoo arose triumphant from the ashes of his proclaimed death and went on to build a career as one of Japan’s most illustrious graphic designers. Now just over 70 years of age, he is the creator of hundreds of posters, paintings, prints, collages and books. Yokoo emerged as a designer in the mid 1960s amidst worldwide social turmoil and the formation of a youth culture that would henceforth invent its own means of expression. His sources were and continue to be multifarious. The eclecticism of Milton Glaser, Seymour Chwast, and other designers from the Push Pin Studio is evident in his earliest posters and the Push Pin influence has persisted in his later work although to a fairly large extent it has been replaced by other more experimental techniques. Yokoo’s drawing style would seem to owe something to the thin lines and flat colors of Seymour Chwast rather than the more nuanced and textured style of Glaser.

  • Tadanori Yokoo
    Wild at Heart: Tadanori Yokoo "Tadanori Yokoo, Having Reached a Climax at the Age of 29, I Was Dead" (exhibition poster), 1965 Tadanori Yokoo (b. 1936) has embraced an enormous variety of media — book designs, animation, prints, posters, album covers, Swatch watches, illustration and paintings. All of his works display a unique visual richness, alluding to a massive and eclectic array of artistic images and movements: Surrealism, Dada, Russian Constructivism, American Pop Art, contemporary Japanese popular culture and traditional Japanese art forms, especially the woodblock prints known as ukiyo-e. Few artists of any medium have succeeded so well in capturing the visual inundation that comes from living in large, cosmopolitan cities. As Yokoo himself put it, “When I walk through the streets of Tokyo, it is not unusual for me to weave back and forth as if I were recovering from an illness.” His intricate, dreamlike designs are portraits of Mount, Christopher. “Wild at Heart: Tadanori Yokoo”, The Design Observer, July 21st, 2010 our turbulent and chaotic times that embrace both the high and low as well as burgeoning globalization. In the West, printed works have been traditionally produced for artistic contemplation or functional purposes, but rarely for both. A poster might advertise a product, an event, a safety warning or a political cause in the Soviet Union, Switzerland, Poland or the U.S. But in all such cases, urgent communication is far more important than leisurely contemplation. In Japan, beginning with the production of ukiyo-e in the late 17th-century, which were both commercial advertisements for the merchants of a rising middle class and cherished art objects, there have been no such divisions.

Indonesia kaya dan terkenal akan keseniannya, salah satunya adalah seni rupa. Menurut C. Kluckhohn dalam Supartono berpendapat, bahwa kesenian merupakan salah satu unsur kebudayaan, yaitu salah satu dari tujuh unsur cultural universal. Seni rupa dilihat dari fungsinya dibedakan menjadi 2, yaitu seni rupa murni dan seni rupa terapan. Poster termasuk dalam seni rupa terapan 2 dimensi karena hanya memiliki panjang dan lebar. Poster salah satu alat untuk menginformasikan sesuatu pesan, protes, dan untuk mengiklankan suatu produk.

Ulak, Alexandra Munroe, and Masami Teraoka with Lynda Hess Japanese-born artist Masami Teraoka, now a resident of Hawaii, brings penetrating insight and astonishing technical skill to the search for love and identity in a world created on the fault line between two cultures. Brilliantly exploiting the imagery of pop art in combination with traditional Japanese ukiyo-e woodblock prints, Teraoka explores in his paintings how the contemporary dilemma over gender, identity, and sexual behavior influences people’s lives and experiences. Ukiyo, or “the floating world,” in Edo-period Japan (161 5-1868) evoked the transitory world of Kabuki theater and pleasure houses.The term also applied to the genre images that recorded that life, particularly in woodblock prints (ukiyo-e). Popular subjects included portraits of actors and courtesans, Kabuki theater, landscape views, and erotica. Teraoka taps the graphic power and elegant color of these works, including the use of seals, calligraphy, and ornately framed cartouches, and revels in covert meanings, combining verbal and visual puns with alluring color and pattern. Astonishingly, he uses watercolor to create the appearance of the woodblock print, but with signature late twentieth- century twists and turns. Integrating traditional ukiyo-e imagery and subject matter with pop art, the artist casts contemporary issues related to AIDS, computer mouses, environmental degrada- tion, and drive-by shootings, in historical guise. His unabashed use of humor and satire combines with a vibrant personal iconography drawn from Japanese and Western sources — catfish, trickster fox, ghost, snake, ninja, samurai, geisha, Adam, Eve, punk rockers, television, and London buses.
