Carnal Curses, Disfigured Dreams
Author: Kagami Jigoku Kobayashi
Publisher: Japanese Film Perspectives
ISBN: 9781840683226
Category : Performing Arts
Languages : en
Pages : 144
Book Description
Carnal Curses, Disfigured Dreams presents an illustrated, annotated and indexed filmography of all pre-war and immediately post-war Japanese films in the genres of horror, fantasy, science fiction, and weird mystery, and is the first English-language book to do so. Due to Japan's rich tradition of ghost stories, heroic legends and folkloric hierarchy of demonic yokai, an unusually large percentage of films made in the country's early years of film production were based on phantastic myths and supernaturally-driven narratives. By 1915, a new genre of ninjutsu ("secret combat techniques") films emerged, with many narratives involving shape-shifting and magic, giving rise to Japanese cinema's first wave of special-effects technicians. In the 1930s, low-budget exploitation companies such as Kyokuto and Zensho produced dozens of pulp horror movies, including a startling hybrid genre from Kyokuto which mixed samurai and robots. Zombies, vampires, mechanical men, mad scientists, monsters, killer apes, living statues, ghosts, demons - all the iconic figures of bizarre cinema can be found in Japan's early film output, filtered through that country's unique lens of culture and myth. Carnal Curses, Disfigured Dreams lists over 500 films in a detailed, chronological filmography, includes over 30 woodblock print illustrations, reproduces 65 extremely rare film production photographs and posters - most of which have never been published before, even in Japan - and concludes with an index of all films referenced in the text. Japanese Film Perspectives is a new series of historical studies based on new and original research, and anchored around never-before-seen photographic images.

Pinups: Past and Present
Author: Jim Silke
Publisher: Chartwell Books
ISBN: 9780785836704
Category : Art
Languages : en
Pages : 0
Book Description
Pinups: Past and Present is a curated reference survey of the state of pinup art among contemporary graphic artists, tattooists, and cartoonists. With more than 100 artists from the United States, Europe, Australia, Japan, and China included, this collection offers an unrivaled look at every different direction pin-up art design has taken since the heady days of Bettie Page. More than 200 images from the best practitioners betray the influences of the greats, such as Gil Elvgren and Olivia De Berardinis, but also show new trends, including a revival in 1980s-influenced line work in the vein of Patrick Nagel, and of biomech-influenced approaches. Every image is accompanied by a caption detailing the artist, name of work, and major influences, making this an invaluable source of information and inspiration for all graphic artists and cartoonists in the genre. In the past, pinup women were considered to be a low bar for artists and were generally taboo in the art community. The current appeal of old pinup art is the unpretentious, often naive, and joyful whimsy that celebrates the sensuality of the women depicted. Whether they're real or imaginary, pinup women are a celebration of feminine sexuality. The sheer breadth and span of pinup art today is amazing and every major genre is represented within, including: Classic American Sci-Fi and Fantasy Cartoon and Comic Book Hot Rod Neo-Surreal Pinups: Past and Present features the best contemporary artists, such as Enric Badia Romero, Carlos Cartagena, Fiona Stephenson, Chris Wahl, ONEQ, David Nakayama, Andrew Hickinbottom, Zach Gardia, Ben Tan, Marta Nael, Jan Meininghaus, David Vincente, Screaming Demons, Syd Brak, Loopydave, Natalie Shau, Jasmine Becket-Griffith, Elias Chatzoudis, and many more. For the pinup aficionado and artist, this non-stop, eye-popping book is an essential source of inspiration.
