This book offers an entirely new and  detailed survey and analysis of nearly six decades of Kaneko&#8217;s work in  ceramics, drawing, painting, installation art, and opera design. Tracing  the career of this dynamic artist from his early training and  subsequent association with the pivotal California Clay Movement to his  important public commissions and philanthropic concerns of the present,  it focuses in particular on the past 20 years, which have previously not  been the subject of a comprehensive volume.<\/p>\n<p>Drawing extensively  on interviews he has conducted with Jun Kaneko since 2002, Glen R. Brown  reflects on the principal concepts that have shaped Kaneko&#8217;s art,  situating them in the space between a Japanese Shinto ethos and the  aesthetic tenets of Western Art Informel and Post-Painterly Abstraction.  He discusses in-depth Kaneko&#8217;s art, from the colossal glazed-ceramic  Dangos to the sensitive colouristic stage and costume designs for  operas. The book provides fascinating insights into Kaneko&#8217;s unique,  relentlessly self-sustaining creative process and the multiple  conceptions of space that inform it. Featuring more than 200 colour  illustrations and substantial information not previously available in  published form, this book offers an up-to-date definitive critical  survey of this important artist&#8217;s life and work.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The definitive critical survey of Jun Kaneko&#8217;s life and work, exploring the principal concepts that have shaped his oeuvre and offering fascinating insights into Kaneko&#8217;s unique, relentlessly self-sustaining creative process and the multiple conceptions of space that inform it.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"featured_media":15126,"template":"","meta":{"_acf_changed":false,"_relevanssi_hide_post":"","_relevanssi_hide_content":"","_relevanssi_pin_for_all":"","_relevanssi_pin_keywords":"","_relevanssi_unpin_keywords":"","_relevanssi_related_keywords":"","_relevanssi_related_include_ids":"","_relevanssi_related_exclude_ids":"","_relevanssi_related_no_append":"","_relevanssi_related_not_related":"","_relevanssi_related_posts":"","_relevanssi_noindex_reason":""},"product_brand":[],"product_cat":[5568],"product_tag":[],"class_list":{"0":"post-15125","1":"product","2":"type-product","3":"status-publish","4":"has-post-thumbnail","6":"product_cat-art","7":"author-by-author-glen-r-brown","8":"publisher-scheidegger-und-spiess-ag-verlag","10":"first","11":"instock","12":"shipping-taxable","13":"purchasable","14":"product-type-simple"},"acf":[],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v27.0 - https:\/\/yoast.com\/product\/yoast-seo-wordpress\/ -->\n<title>Jun Kaneko - ACC Art Books UK<\/title>\n<meta name=\"description\" content=\"Title: Jun Kaneko, Pages: 264 Pages, Publish Date: 13th Nov 2020, Author: Glen R.
