KAMEKURA, Yusaka.
Industrial Arts of America.
First edition. Small 4to. B&w plates throughout. Paper covered boards with a dust wrapper. Japanese texts. [N.p.], 1949.
Dust wrapper a little chipped at the edges. A well survived copy.
A beautiful book introducing design classics from the MoMA collections for a Japanese audience. Here iconic designs by the likes of Marcel Breuer, Hans Knoll, Charles Eames and Isamu Noguchi sit alongside common domestic appliances and furnishings. The crisp photography throughout gives each object its own context and attention. This is an excellent example of book design from the period by one of Japan's most prominent graphic designers Yusaka Kamekura.
