Description: An uncommon original exhibition catalogue for The Fourth Contemporary Art Exhibition of Japan, 1960, published by The Mainichi Newspapers.

A fascinating period catalogue documenting Japanese contemporary art at the beginning of the 1960s. It is illustrated throughout with examples of paintings, prints and sculpture, with captions in both Japanese and English.

Artists represented include Yoshishige Saito, Shigeyuki Shimano, Susumu Notomi, Seiichi Hara, Benji Asada, Koichiro Kondo, Meiji Hashimoto and Iwao Norimatsu, alongside international artists including Massimo Campigli and Giovanni Brancaccio.

An interesting and increasingly difficult-to-find reference for collectors of Japanese modern art, post-war Japanese art, exhibition catalogues and 20th-century art history.

Condition:
