Asian Traditions/Modern Expressions: Asian American Artists and Abstraction, 1945-1970

By Jane Voorhees Zimmerli Art Museum and Jeffrey Wechsler

This first survey of Asian American modernists active during the era of Abstract Expressionism reevaluates an entire generation of neglected but important artists. The works of 58 artists, including Isamu Noguchi and Kenzo Okada, reveal the strong tradition in Asian art of abstract techniques and show how East Asian art prefigured or paralleled "modern" stylistic developments in the West. 194 illustrations, 84 in color.
